Paris Nisheet arrived in Paris early this morning! I’m so excited to share this part of my journey with him as Paris is one of my all time favorite cities. Here is our day in pictures. We had a lot to catch up on since we had been apart for 2 weeks and 3 countries, […]
Today I made the train trip from Lyon to Paris, explore the Jardin des Plantes, and got ready for Nisheets arrival in Paris tomorrow morning! I’m so excited! Train to Paris I took the train again, but this time I had a second class seat. It wasn’t too much different from the first class except […]
