Yes! Done! Finally!

Last night, I finished sorting, tagging, and posting photos from the big trip to France. Hard to believe it was a year ago I was waking up in the Loire Valley and then driving to Paris on Cinco de Mayo.

I miss the feeling of that entire trip. The best chocolate ice cream ever to be eaten, the feel of the breeze on my arms, the sunshine filtered through lush green trees, cobblestones under my feet, riding the metro to explore new places, living the life for just a moment in such a beautiful and alive city…

Will try to post my favorite photos from the trip soon. Still trying to catch up on so many things. All while getting ready for the next adventure. A week of hiking in Zion National Park. Something I’ve been “training” for since the start of the year. 7 big hikes increasing in length. Past two weekends we successfully completed 10+ mile hikes. It’s been joyful to discover so many hidden gems in my own backyard. Southern California has marvelous beauty amid all the chaos.

Still posting photos from France. Loire Valley all done. 6 more days left and Paris will be complete.

Our trip feels at times like long ago or though it never happened… other times I ache to return to those days, those moments. They were peaceful, exciting, alive.

I miss the wine in France.

Photos from last day in the Loire Valley and drive into Paris are up. Will get the rest of the photos up. Eventually. Slow going. New obsession with Degrassi is not helping. Don’t ask.

Fairy tale land. Magical. Loire Valley. France.

Posted photos from Day 4 of our trip to France. Most don’t come close to doing justice to how beautiful and spectacular everything really was. Le sigh.

France is for romantics. More »
