An American-Russian Girl in Paris

It was time for my adventure in Moscow to come to an end. After saying my good-byes, I left the motherland feeling overwhelmed with joy and satisfaction. Dasvedanya Moskva ("good -bye Moscow" in Russian).

On to Paris.

On my first day, I had planned to explore Paris to see all there is to see on foot. I stayed in the busy Montparnasse District. With its never-ending rows of cafes and famous street markets, this was the perfect place for me to spend my weekend in Paris.

View from my hotel window.

Thank you Heidi for sending me this Paris Metro Guide.

I enjoyed walking through the old streets; smelling the smells, seeing the sights, and especially tasting the food.

How could I go to France and not have a crepe? Of course I had one and it was delicious.

And how could I walk the streets of Paris without a grande iced Americano?

Ahh, the streets of Paris.

The Luxembourg Gardens

You must go to the Luxembourg gardens and have a cappuccino ice cream on a warm Parisian day. Perfect.

Since I was without my Babe to snap a photo of me, and I wasn't about to fall for the "let me take a photo of you and then disappear into the crowd" trick, I had to settle for a photo of my reflection.

On my way to see the new Woody Allen movie after a long day of walking.
