We’re back! It was such a quick trip and I didn’t have even a minute of quiet time in which to throw something out to the blogosphere, so now I will try to give you a re-cap from Paris.
Our hotel was lovely and quiet and had a delightful scent piped into the hallways.

the hallway- wish I could make it a “scratch and sniff” for you!
We walked all over the charming neighborhood surrounding our hotel. Here are a few things we saw.
Vienna has an extensive trolley car system
Vienna also has buses and I liked the sign for the bus stop- not sure why
Vienna was very bike-friendly. The left side of the road is a dedicated bike lane with a median separating it from the main road!
The exterior of the Opera House, which was built from 1861-1869.
Smile for my blog, honey!
beautiful side doors
Sadly, we did not attend that evening’s performance.
St. Stephen’s Cathedral
St. Peter’s Church
The interior is much more elaborate than the exterior would suggest!

It was a quick two days, but I’m so glad I was able to go. Vienna is a lovely, impeccably clean city.
I caught a few shots of Paris from above as we returned Friday night.
You will probably need to click on this photo in order to see the Eiffel Tower almost in the center.
At center is the Arc de Triomphe, and you can follow the line going left to the Louvre.
Our visiting family flew out this morning, and Claire leaves on Tuesday. My time in Paris is quickly winding down until after the summer. No worries, however, because I have a couple of day tours, and a trip to Tuscany to do before this little blog goes to sleep for the summer. I also have an abundance of pictures that I haven’t shown you yet–so y’all come back now, ya hear?
