Catchup – Stockholm and Paris

July 3, 2009 at 7:55 pm (Uncategorized)

In bullet points:

Stockholm

  • rain
  • gorgeous
  • busy
  • water (see rain)
  • old town
  • mmmmmm cake! and good coffee!

Stockholm is number 2 on my favourite european city list now. It really was absolutely gorgeous, and full of life. But it rained, the entire time I was there. Put a bit of a dampener (haha) on things. 

Paris:

  • baguettes
  • sunshine
  • macarons
  • Versailles
  • wine
  • Louvre

Versailles was absolutely incredible. Lauren and I spent a wonderful day wandering around and lamented not having another day to spend there. We also took copious photos of wallpaper (and all the other beautiful things). 

I almost cried in the Louvre. Finally making it there was surreal, and stumbling through crowds of tourists to see some of my favourite art works was a dream come true. I finally met Mona, she smiled, i smiled, we parted ways. I spent more time with some of the divine Venetian portraits and Michelangelo’s slaves, and left very happy indeed.
