I woke up this morning with the Paris blues. I long for an extended trip to Paris - wish I could go every few months. But for now, a few beautiful shots from the City of Lights will lift my spirits until I can have my next set of adventures there!
These photographs were taken by my sweet sister and niece on our excursion to Paris last summer. It seemed that everywhere we looked was a visual feast for our eyes. I know my next few trips will be to places I've never been before - Istanbul and Seville to be specific!
I can't wait to make plans for upcoming trips. Today I need to book hotel rooms in San Francisco for my March trip. This will be my last trip prior to heading down there for my daughters wedding in April. The trip will be a great one - San Francisco and Calistoga. I'd like to try a new hotel this time - something that is relatively close to Sacramento Street and filled with charm. In addition, we will be going for two days to Calistoga to take in the amazing mineral baths. Since my daughter went to the University of San Francisco, we have been going to Calistoga as our quick get away trips. One of the things I love most about the wine country is the smell of the air. To me it smells like grapes, rosemary, and bay leaves. It immediately calms me and makes all of my troubles quickly slip away.
