Is this my life? I'm just checking because it doesn't seem real. I've been to so many countires just in this year and now I'm living in London and traveling around Europe. It seems like it should be a book or a movie about someone else. Although, it wouldn't be a very gripping novel at this point. There is a character and a setting but not much of a plot. Maybe in a few more months. For now it's just me living my life...not exactly a romantic comedy or action/suspense. Actually, it's more like a documentary - or maybe a "mock-umentary." Yeah, I could see that.
I think it all hit me when I saw this view from my hotel room in Paris. I didn't plan on having a room with a view but it was certainly a nice surprise when I arrived. I did my best to choose a mid-priced one with a good location on hotels.com and this is what I got! Overall the trip was amazing. I love cities at night with all the lights. It's particularly beautiful in Europe where all the architecture is already so fascinating that the light and shadows just emphasize it. The rest of my pictures are now on-line here. They could probably use some better description but I don't have time just yet. For now, you can probably figure out that the big tall thing is the Eiffel Tower.
I got to see a decent amount of the major sites in the city but I didn't want to run from place to place without appreciating things. When I'm by myself, since I don't have anyone there to talk to, I tend to take pictures and run to the next attraction without really stopping to think about everything. This time I did my best to balance both. My favorite part (this is for you, Dad) was the night tour to various buildings as well as seeing the Eiffel Tower twinkle from my balcony. Whenever I get really mad about a client or have to work late, I'll just have to remind myself to be grateful for these opportunities.
