Paris Perfect

Paris! Not long after arriving, we were having dinner on the Seine with the most perfect view of the Eiffel tower. It would just be wrong not too.  In Paris, you need to splurge every once in awhile. I mean we were staying in a super hot, loud, little hostel. We deserved it. In our 4 days we squeezed in the Louvre, Pompidou and Sacré-Coeur in Montamartre. Powered by coffee, quiches and croissants, we strolled markets and gardens for hours. Our final night, we climbed a sparkling Eiffel tower and said goodbye to the city.

First Stop London

Happy graduation to us. In lieu of parties, my sister and I were presented with the opportunity to tour Europe for a month. Who needs party hats? London was our jumping off point. Off the list of things to do, we first checked off a traditional English breakfast followed shortly thereafter by a tea and scone. We hit the London eye, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.  We also visited Kensington Gardens, Shakespeare Globe theater and the quaint Notting Hill. Ottolenghi is a must stop. Last day was Hummingbird bakery and Camden Lock for sweets and shopping.
