Wandering the streets of Paris


Yesterday I strolled the streets of the Quartier Latin (Home of the Sorbonne) and Montmartre. On these streets passed some of the greatest philosophers, artists, and doctors in history, including many a person I had read about recently in David McCullough's Americans in Paris. I felt something lingering here, particularly in the small back streets of Montmartre; there is a great feeling that comes from knowing you are standing on the same ground that the likes of Van Gogh, Picasso, Renoir, and Toulouse once did. Below are two photos of my favorite moment of the day - a picture of the exact spot that Renoir depicted in La Balançoire (The Swing).

Eating the best bread in Paris (or not)

Image
After 3 days of copious hours of walking, sightseeing, and battling the Parisienne sun, I decided to take it easy today - just some leisurely strolling through the 1st and 4th arrondissements, some true "sit and look like I just can't be bothered" time at a café and to finish it all off, a cheese, baguette, and wine filled pique-nique (picnic) at Paris' largest park. So, after a quick pass at Notre Dame, I sought the best and truest pique-nique food I could find. First, les fromages (cheese). I found a wonderful fromagerie (cheese shop) somewhere shortly past Place des Vosges (Paris' oldest square) and the young vendeuse (saleswoman) working was very helpful when I explained I needed pique-nique fair for one (which I did in French, of course!). Dizzy with gratitude and more than a bit overwhelmed, I took the first two she suggested.  Next, du vin (wine). Easy. Pop into any market in Paris and you'll find a half decent selection of demi-bouteilles (half...

"AcciDental" Tourism

Image
Earlier in the fall, a group of girl friends and I had decided we would spend our November long weekend in Budapest, Hungary. I had talked up the capital city for its thermal baths, cheap salons, spas, accommodations, and shopping, that now everyone else wanted to go, too. And, of course, I was happy to return to one of my favorite summer 2014 travel destinations and serve as a bit of a tour guide. We booked our flights and an Airbnb apartment and in November off we went with an empty suitcase intended for goodies and a list of beauty treatments we wanted done. And then, on the first night, dental disaster struck. It started with a series of strange headaches followed shortly after by pain in my jaw and then BOOM! - full on excruciating pain on the entire left side of my mouth, both inside and out. It was at this moment that one of my friends informed me of "Dental Tourism" - a subset of medical tourism that was completely unknown to me beforehand. As it turns out, Buda...

Amsterdam

Image
I wanted to take a long overdue moment to post a few photos and thoughts on my trip to Amsterdam in February. I felt incredible in Amsterdam. I was sketching, writing, reading, and just otherwise very happy there. I think it's a great place for people with diverse interests; you can find everything from serene biking around the canals to recreational drugs (if that's what you're into, of course) to museums, design, and music. Of all my travels so far, Amsterdam is the place I felt most at home; safe, creative, and energized. Highlights of my trip included: Rijksmuseum - The Dutch National Museum showcases the masters of art in a newly renovated and recently reopened tour de force. Van Gogh Museum - I spent Valentine's day at the Van Gogh Museum. He was my date. Did you know he produced all of that amazing work in only 10 years of painting? Neither did I. Badass. Tip: Order a ticket for a timed entry online and avoid the queues. Flower Market  - A memora...
