    I've been to Lourdes once and since I'm not a Catholic I found everthing to be intriguing.

    "Louis" regrets that he wasn't able to visit Lourdes when he lived in France.

    Lovely. Thanks for sharing. The church appeared so small in comparison to the vastness of the sky. Nice!

We recently traveled to London, is the place to be!!!!! We are so glad that we ( (me and my family) had the perfect sunny weather to enjoy this beautiful City. ... more stories next time! I’ve been through times when I didn’t post to my blog for more than a month – life just got in the way. I am very much quickwittedly busy, took me that long to make a blog post, it's great to be back! Thank you so much for your visits, when I was out of the loop.

My Favorite Place in Europe!

I love Paris! I had seen the Eiffel Tower many times in photographs before my first trip to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly very beautiful and the most exhilarating awesome landmarks in Europe. The Eiffel Tower just unambiguously took my breath away when my husband proposed to me at the top of the Eiffel Tower whiles we are looking out over the beautiful city. Just remembering those special jiffies life in Paris, walking by the river Seine during nighttime and sitting by the Eiffel Tower while smacking a dainty crepe. We spent our spacious time traveling via Paris Metropolitan "Le Metro". I may say, I overcome the overpowering and formidable subway complex of the city. We enjoyed it so much!
