l'amour

 ah, home sweet home.

i'm back in the bay and completely exhausted from my trip to paris and london, but all the hustle and bustle was worth it as i've waited practically my entire life to see and do what i've experienced over the past week and a half.  words can't describe...so here are some of my favorite photos, capturing the best moments of my travels:

my first night in paris, crossing the seine river.  every corner i turned was a sight more beautiful than the last.  i must've wandered over four miles that night without even realizing it...

 

indulging at the louvre.

 

posting on my block, rue madame, baguette in hand.  best bread i've had the pleasure of tasting, courtesy of bread and roses.

 

boutiques - the quaint sizes and humble locations made them so enticing.  my only regret was visiting in august, because many were closed on holiday.

 

cheeeEEEeEEse...

 

candies, cookies and all things sweet at la cure gourmande.

 

no trip to ile st. louis is complete without a cone from bethillon - pistache, my fave.

 

dancers on the seine.

 

breakfast of champions.

 

the stained glass windows of sainte chapelle - AMAZING!

 

lovebirds...

 

of course, i got sick.

 

but a spa treatment and room service at the sofitel st. james heals all wounds :)

 

*fin*

p.s. i miss it already.
