But alas, that horse had no interest in plantain chips and … More Adventures in Driving (More from CR)
I’ve delayed posting pictures due to issues with getting pictures from my phone, but I won’t delay further and will just add more later. Here are some photos from our France trip (click the below for slideshow)!
We’re home again, having left behind what is now confirmed as my favorite big city visited to date: Paris. I’m not able to express my feelings in an acceptable manner now; our return has been a bit chaotic, office life beckons early tomorrow, and I’m jet-lagged and sorting through an Eiffel Tower-sized pile of laundry.
