The Bee Keeper and His Bees

The family I was staying with in France had bee hives and made their own honey. Therefore I was lucky enough to experience the thrill of dressing up in a huge bee space suit and have hundreds of agitated bees swarm around me. Very impressive.

Hiking in the French Alps

After Paris, the TGV (a 200mph train) took us across France and deep into the mountains. The French Alps really are something out of a fairly tale. Imagine not only lush green forests, turquoise waters, and large mountains with snowy peaks, but also winds that would make flowers float in the sky and farm animals wearing bells that created the most exquisite sounding music. 

At this point, I turned to my boyfriend who was raised in this magical part of the world and asked "are you a fairy?" 

What a lucky girl am I to have a native French family show me all the local hot spots for hikes. It felt like we were the only ones in these mountains. By happenstance that you do run into a fellow hiker, its tradition to say "bon jour"! Nonetheless, it still feels extremely surreal to stumble upon another human in this crazy natural landscape.

Paris by Day and Night

This is a blog post about all things... Paris. Anything you can think of about Paris is probably here (except the Eiffel tower). That's because whenever I think about Paris, it mainly includes images of cute cafes, rues, and restaurants placed on every corner imaginable. 

I was fortunate enough to go this past month, unfortunately only for two nights. Just enough time to remind me of how I want to live here one day. It might be my romantic side... but there is just something about this city.. 

Salut! Paris by Day and Night: 

Many many more posts to come. I did spend two whole weeks in other very fascinating parts of France so keep touching base fellas.
