Believe it or not, my vacation photos are slowly but surely coming to an end. The Arc de Triomphe was our last stop in Paris. Leaving the Eiffel Tower, we had just a few hours before our train back to London…so, we jumped the metro and went up to street level for long enough to take a few photos and see a street performer in passing. That’s all I’ll say…because 1) that’s all I have to say about that – you can certainly click HERE for more information on the Arc de Triomphe, and 2) I got very little sleep last night. I may have a couple more photos from...

If you’ve been following my vacation posts the past few weeks, you’ve gotten a sense for how much we tried to do while we were in London and Paris. If I had it to do all over (and I had the time to do it), I would spend a week in each location so I could fully appreciate each city. Not only were my feet incredibly tired from all the walking, but we really didn’t have a chance to see places like the Eiffel Tower at night (I guess we could have the night before, but we were exhausted).

The Catacombs gather the remainders of approximately six million Parisians who were transferred to this final resting place between the end from 18th century and the middle from the 19th century. As I understand it, Paris’s population rapidly increased between the 10th and 12th centuries. Some of the cemeteries became overcrowded and because of their location...

On Friday, I was still sharing photos from Day 2 in Paris (If you’re new to my blog – I went to London and Paris with my husband at the beginning of September. If you missed any of my previous pictures, click HERE). I really thought that I might have moved on to our last day in Paris…but I can’t move on until I share photos of the Pantheon. According to the Pantheon’s website, it was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve. It has flipped back and forth to a church over the years, but eventually assumed its lasting role as a burial place for...
