Tonight is our last night in the amazing city of light. It seems only fitting to post another photo of the iconic Eiffel Tower. We have had an amazing time here, seen so many amazing places, and met so many great people that it’s very hard to leave. Paris actually has been very easy to…
Paris
lottadjossou Paris
Paris has some great little shops and lots of artists if you know where to find them or just stumble upon them while exploring the little neighborhood streets. While wandering not far from our apartment we came across this lovely little jewelry shop called lottadjossou Paris where the designer Clément Djossou creates his designs. His designs are…
Estate of Versailles
Today we visited one of the most amazing disappointing places that we’ve been. We woke up early to try to get to the Estate of Versailles before the long lines.

The Boulevard of Forgotten Photography Equipment
Today we spent the day exploring the area around our apartment. We ended up walking down the Boulevard Beaumarchais and found that instead of being in Paris, we had somehow been transported to “the Boulevard of Forgotten Photography equipment” the place where all cameras go to be re-invigorated. No kidding, there were probably at least…
Paris From The Montparnasse Tower
Today we explored the Paris metro system and took ourselves to the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, then walked to the Tour Montparnasse to get a view of the city. You get an amazing 360 degree view of Paris from the top of the building. While we waited for the sparkling light show…
