Shayna's visit: Paris



The best part about Shayna's visit was that I got to do a lot of the things that I had been wanting to do, but hadn't quite done yet. Because Shayna had already been to Paris, we were able to do a lot of things that were off the beaten path.

We went to Parc de Buttes-Chaumont, a large public park in Paris. It was beautiful and had a great view of Sacre Coeur.


We went to L'Orangerie in the Tuillerie gardens in front of the Louvre. The museum contains huge Money paintings that are the length of the entire room.

We had a picnic in Place de Vosges.



We went with my World of Wine class to Lavinia, the largest wine store in Paris.

We got to go in the room where les vins fragiles (fragile wines) are kept.
Shayna treated me to a bottle of wine...
