Bon Soir! I spent most of the day in the gardens. Every big city needs the 'lungs' that allow people to go and breath and get peace and quiet from the hustle bustle of the city. The parks in the center of Paris are those lungs and they are very appreciated. Paris is a lovely city but I say it every time I visit - 3-4 days is enough for me. That would be a totally different story if I knew someone who lived here or my pockets were MUCH deeper. I wandered down very posh streets today with boutiques that I didn't dare step inside. But pressing my face to the glass and admiring was enough for me. Stock Photo included in this post.
Solo travel has its perks and downside. I came back to the hotel for my afternoon nap around 3pm. I asked the front desk clerk to arrange for a cab to take me to the train station and a pick up at 6:30am. My head hit the pillow about 4ish and I was out! I woke up and the clock said 6:20! I panicked and rushed around gathering up my last few bits, washed my face to wake up. I was ready to run out the door with luggage in tow. I did a final sweep of the room and I opened the curtain. It was light outside. I said 'hmmm...is it normally light at 6:30am?' I looked at my phone and saw that it was 6:30PM! I'm such a goof. I think a travel buddy would have set me straight sooner than I did. But hey I was up and awake and now I could head to dinner. And that is exactly what I did.
I must of gotten plenty of sleep since it is in the wee hours of the morning here and I'm blogging. My train leaves at 7am for Bordeaux and I'm excited. Even though it is still a city It is not quite the size of Paris. I'm ready. Stock Photo included.
