Always a Good Idea
I totally blame my love for Paris on Audrey Hepburn.
Paris is always a good idea.
-Sabrina, 1954
Well, I’ve mostly finished packing for Paris. So I guess I should mention to you guys that, uh,
I’m going to Paris.
You may have seen it on twitter, if you follow me. I leave in a few days, and I’ll be there for quite a long time.
I’ve been to Paris before and did all those tourist things, so hopefully this time I can just go to a lot of temporary exhibits at museums, finally make it through the entire Louvre (I’m gonna block aside at least four days), drink all the wine, and eat all the cheese. And, fingers crossed, get some writing in, too!
I will still have interwebs, no worries, although my responses will probably stay staggered as I wander and walk and eat crepes and climb Notre Dame. If you guys have any tips, I’ll take them! Also, if anyone knows any good (and safe) running trails, that’d be appreciated. I want to keep training for the Navy.
I’m also willing to take requests for pictures if there’s anything you guys would like to see. It’s dependent on cost (my budget is very, very tight), but lemme know if there’s something you’re curious about. I’ll do my best!
So minions, any fun times coming up for you? Vacations or adventures or something new in life? Let me know. I miss talking with you!

Have a great time! Enjoy Paris some for me too
I am looking forward to whatever pics you are going to share.
Ooooooh, Paris! I was there in August.
Download the phone app for getting around the city. Makes navigating the metro so much easier, especially in the areas where it’s under construction.
Don’t eat on the main streets, veer off on some side street. Prices are usually cheaper and you get less of a tourist experience.
I’d love to see pictures from the whole climbing Notre Dame experience. It’s the one thing I wish I’d done, but hadn’t.
The boats that go up and down the river that stop here and there? So not worth the cash. Get a two day pass on the open top bus tour. Super awesome!
The catacombs are a must for me. So awesome and creepy and neat.
I appreciate the tip for eating on the streets! I’ll probably be cooking at my rented apartment for breakfast and dinner, but lunch will be street food. Every euro counts with my budget.
I totally agree on the catacombs–I went in 2011, and it was amazing. If I can afford it, I’ll go again. And pictures of climbing Notre Dame, yes ma’am! I’ll do my best!
