What I love right now - archives 2018

While preparing for my dad's 60th birthday party, I checked through my photo files and found a couple of shots that I really wanted to share here. Some of them being from special outings and some just quick snapshots. These photos were from a day at the farmer's market.

Paris 2018 - Paris sightseeing in Montmartre

When I look at my photos of Paris, I can't keep a dry eye. We went there for the first time in 2016 and then returned two years later to visit all the places we hadn't seen during our first stay. Still, there were so many places we just couldn't see and Notre Dame from the inside was one of them. Now I am so sad to not have done it, but who could have guessed the tragic fate of this beautiful landmark. But I don't want to be sad when looking at these photos. Whenever I thought of Paris, I had always wanted to visit Montmartre and the first time we had gone there and were caught in a thunderstorm. This time I had made up my mind to wander the little alleys and enjoy this picturesque département no matter what. 

In 2016, the Mars field was filled with soccer fans as the European Championships took place in Paris and we couldn't wander around freely. This time we managed a picnic underneath the Eiffel Tower with Ladurée Macarons and Baguettes.

Such a cute little Café - La Maison Rose. Very small with limited seats, but we were lucky and had our afternoon tea there.

Goodbye Winter

This Winter has been long, cold and snowy - just like I love it! I want to share a couple of snapshots from the past months of white winter in the Erzgebirge, Germany.

Sunny Day in Paris

On our first day in Paris we were blessed with beautiful weather and decided to visit all the sights that we were not able see during the time in 2016 when Paris was suffering from a high tide and on-going rain storms. On our first stop, we visited the Jardin du Luxembourg. What a beautiful place.

Afterwards we took a stroll through the 6th arrondisement, past the University Sorbonne towards the Ile de la cité. 

We visited Notre Dame and walked along the river Seine. Those little cubicles, where all the artists sell their art work, are just wonderful to look at. When you visit Paris, those spots are a must see.
