A Paris Noel

It seems that every new season that arrives in Paris becomes my favorite, but I have to say Christmas season may be my ultimate favorite!  The lights, decorations, and festivities are everywhere and start early to put you in the Christmas spirit.  {Also the fact that there's no Thanksgiving probably has something to do with it too.}

Here's a little glimpse of what Paris is like in this festive season.

Salon du Chocolat

Way back in late October, I visited the Salon du Chocolat, and it's exactly what it sounds like: an exhibition of chocolate.  An afternoon filled with yummy sights, smells, and tastes.  And believe it or not, I actually don't think it would have been possible for me to eat one bite more by the time we left (this is quite a feat, if you know me and my sweet tooth!)

Les Bleus

I've gotten a little behind on updating this...we haven't gone on any more trips, but I forget to update all the fun things we've been doing here in Paris!  I'm probably going to overwhelm you with a new post every day to try and get caught up before we leave for the States (yay!!)

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go to a Paris rugby game, and it was a blast!

Berlin: A little history, a little winter, and lots of fun

And for the second weekend in a row, it was a three day holiday weekend in France. How can you pass that up?  This weekend we went north and east for a winter weekend in Berlin. We had a blast exploring history and having many laughs with three other couples we are friends with here in Paris. Be sure to check out all of our Berlin pictures here.

Barcelona: Perfect Fall Getaway

This past weekend was a 3-day holiday weekend, so we decided to head to Barcelona with another couple.  We could not have asked for a better weekend...the weather was sunny and warm (very different from what we left in Paris), the food was great, and it was such a relaxing weekend!  Be sure to check out all of our pictures from Barcelona here.
