A beautiful Friday in Paris on a 17 C (63F) sunny day! I walked from my apartment to the Arc de Triomphe and then down the Champs Elysees to Place Concorde and then through the Tuilleries and to the Louvre and then around the Louvre and down Rue de Rivoli then all the way back by walkway along the Seine.

Monaco!

Monaco is beautiful, as you can see! I can't wait to go back and see it more in depth. Walking around is wonderful and I can't wait to spend more time there in the future. It has everything I love... sophistication, culture, beautiful water, sun, French, English and Italian all in one amazing beautiful ville.
