View from my room in the morning.


Another view from my room of Paris.


Un croissant pour le petit déjeuner, avec un yogurt et le thé.


Paris Métro!


Ceiling of Galeries Lafayette (40, blvd Haussmann 75009 PARIS)


Interesting light fixture


Beautiful shoes by Alaïa.


Palais Garnier (120 rue de Lyon 75012 Paris)


Homebound on Eurostar, first class.


Eurostar first class menu, much better than airplane meal! Totes gourmet!


Clockwise: Peach tartlet, carmalised onion compoté with fig and brie, salad with walnut, roasted salmon with béarnaise sauce and veggie. Of course, I had a complimentary glass of champagne with my meal.


Another look at my dinner.


The brand new St. Pancras International, London. Love that statue, so romantic under the clock! Awww!
