Deutschland: Rhine Valley & Frankfurt
This past weekend was a typical "bridge" weekend here in France. There was a holiday Thursday, so most everyone took Friday off to "bridge" to a long weekend. We followed suit and headed to Germany.

Switzerland: The Cities
We were lucky enough to spend 9 wonderful days in Switzerland the past week. I really didn't know much about Switzerland before we left except that it had mountains, chocolate, and was super expensive.
All of these things are true, but there's so much more to Switzerland also. This post is about our city adventures (Luzern, Bern, and Lausanne/Lake Geneva). Be sure to check out the mountain Switzerland edition here.

Londontown
London...quite possibly my new favorite place I've been to in Europe, and definitely my favorite big city I've been to besides Paris. It reminds me a lot of New York, and not just because they speak English! :)
Les Vacances
Since we've moved here, we keep hearing "all the locals leave in August for vacation", and while we believed this was somewhat true, we weren't quite fully prepared for the mass exodus that has seemingly happened overnight.

Tour de France
The Tour de France arrived in Paris for the final leg on Sunday, July 21st. My friend, Katie, arrived that day, and we were lucky enough to be invited to a rooftop office of a friend on the Champs Elysees to view the last 10 laps up and down the road. (Poor Nick was on a business trip and missed out on all the fun!)
Rouge, Blanc, et Bleu
July has been a busy month, but we were lucky enough to get to celebrate not just 1, but 2, red, white, and blue days this month!
