Paris 2019: A Three-Day Whirlwind

Suprise! We are back at it again, and this time not just to visit the lovely Italia, I truly believe the less you can pay for the flights the more you can justify spending exuberant amounts on Gelato, or in this case Macrons, This time around I found myself flying into Paris CDG airport. Thankfully I convinced Hallee girl to come too and we took on the grand city of Paris together. Lucky for us nothing wild or scary happened. Which is truly the most beloved of blessings when traveling abroad, so all I really have to say about it is I didn't find it to be as bad as everyone says it is, and everything is closer than you think.
I say that because most people comment on how dirty the streets are and to be honest I didn't think they were that bad. The city I booked our airbnb was a bit disgusting but as far as the inter-city sites and the metro I had a much lower expectation. That may be because I was there on the off season but if your traveling Europe in the summer, not only do I think yo a fool, but I think you'll have more things to worry about than just the liter.
 We decided on pre-purchasing a Paris Pass  which was so convenient for getting us through the metro and into all the museums. If you only plan on seeing one or two museums or are to intimidated by the Metro then I wouldn't bother, For us however we rocked that Metro like no ones business and not only did I swoon over every stunning piece of art my eyes beheld, it was nice to use the restrooms "free of charge" in the Museums. I say that because in case you weren't aware public restrooms almost always charge for entrance in Europe. I believe that is to keep out beggars and homeless and help encourage a more cleanly atmosphere. Any who, we were able to easily see everything we wanted to in two and a half days.
Overall I truthfully had a wonderful time. I won't bother filling you in on the best places for Insta photos because you can find dozens of blogs on pinterest for just that.I think any more time would almost be too much, and it didn't interest me enough to add it to my visit regularly list. Thanking the good lord for blessing me with a wonderful life and the ability and health to travel to such beautiful places. Don't forget they say a bad day in Paris is better than a good day anywhere else!

Danse de Macabre

Alrighty, I been really reflecting on this night and I hope I can say something of as equal excellence that I learned that night as it the night felt to me. So long story short my host mom is a really rad woman, is the president of this women's community club, and they were having a banquet to celebrate awarding a community group best costume in the parade and Festival the city has every September. The festival is all about the dance of the dead. Which is essential to remember that this life is special and even leaving it needs to be celebrated as something remarkable.  This festival is a big deal like these people aren't messing around. Anyway, she let me tag along and since we aren't in tourist territory there was basically no one who spoke English. I stood awkwardly by one of F's friends and then when it came time to sit I ended up with this man, L, and the Governor for the district and his wife.  All of which spoke English, I was delighted, to say the ...

All Roads Actually Lead to Rome

I remember sitting at the dinner table and asking Papino if all roads actually lead to Rome. He answered saying, of course, you have to be facing the right direction but eventually, this road leads to that road and you'll find yourself in Rome. Well, my friends, I have found this to be true. Roma, what a dream come true. I can tell you little Adia did indeed cry seeing the Fontana di Trevi for the first time. The Colosseo is grand and I have many more places to discover. Although like I expected my favorite moments were when I was taking a break at the parks just sitting and soaking it in. If you want to take any piece of travel advice from me I demand it be this: Always find a park for optimal enjoyment. Yeah just a local parco di gioci. Or whatever is vicino. This is how to have the ultimate best place because A) You can find the most dogs there. B)You can always find a place to sit if you think your feet might fall off. C) If you are lucky they'll have a musician playing...
