Last week was a great week in Paris with KC, Steve and Elise. It is so much fun having family come to France! And of course any time with Elise is sure to be tops. So neat to see Elise grow and learn and change from day to day, and interact with French adults (e.g. grumpy old stereotypical French man) and kids (e.g. an energetic 18 month old Antoine at the park.) Thank you for a memorable week in Paris Steve and KC!
It was great too because we stayed near Canal St Martin and I decided I should live here at some point. It's my idea of the perfect part of Paris. So picturesque, cool restaurants and shops, a little quirkier than other parts of Paris. I even found the perfect appartement on leboncoin.fr, only missing on guest rooms for my many visitors I'd ideally have :)
I want to share more about the visit but I am getting ready to head off for one more adventure for this year in France. Plus I can hardly see what I am writing on my iPad sitting at this cafe- too bright outside. It's a nice sunny afternoon for a glass of rosé, maybe not evident in the picture.
Our destination: Corsica. My friend Jenna and I are going to Ajaccio for the first couple days, then spending a night in Calvi, Corte, Porto Vecchio, and finally Bonifachio. We rented a car which only I can drive because there are no automatics to be rented in Corsica. I read that there is a maximum of 300 meters of straight road in Corsica and there's often more goats on the roads than cars. Excited to explore this Mediterranean island! :) Bon weekend à vous!
