| a love affair: the many doors of europe |

i fell in love with the architecture in europe, specifically, the doors.  who knew?  the brown and emerald colors were what really caught my eye: they were all unique and beautiful.  i have so many photos of doors from throughout our travels: paris, rome, venice and all around umbria.  here are a few i wanted to share..xx

| voyages, paris: |

holy moly paris, i love you.  I was sad to leave paris yesterday but we packed up our things, jumped on the euro star train and away we went to the UK.  Wednesday we played the total tourist roll: we got on the metro,  (a large task in itself.  i kept saying to my dad "I feel like I'm on amazing race") saw all the wonderful sites: notre damn cathedral, the louve and the eiffel tower---to name just a few.  We ate macaroons, crepes, caprese baguettes, enjoyed latte's and eventually had an amazing proper french dinner.  I will work on a travel guide when I return home from our travels but in the meantime here is a glimpse into our day:
