I visited New York’s Twin Towers for the first time in the early 1990’s. Unlike the Empire State Building which puts metal mesh between you and your view of the New York skyline, the Tower’s outdoor deck offered 360-degree views with no obstructions (especially important when you’re a pint-sized tourist). For whatever reason, I didn’t […]
The shape of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, France is unmistakeable. The domed white church at the top of the Montmartre district can be spotted from the Museo D’Orsey, the Eiffel Tower, and many other places. On a sunny day in April, we climbed the hill to catch a glimpse of this well-known Parisian beacon. […]

I will never be as adorably awkward as Audrey Tautou’s Amélie Poulin. (My style? Definitely more foot-in-mouth, “Avert your eyes, children!” awkward) But I will also always feel a little flutter in my heart for the whimsical version of Montmartre depicted in that film. And so, when Justin and I decided to spend some time in […]
Warsaw was our final destination during our roadtrip through Poland. After a wacky car rental experience in Wroclaw (that seemed more like a covert spy operation than a simple business transaction), we then made our way east to Krakow to enjoy the Vistula River. Next, we followed a northbound route which ended in Poland’s capital […]
I have kind of mixed feelings about city tours. On the one hand, my Herminone-esque information-loving side loves hearing all about the history of a destination. On the other hand, many city tours end up being kind of a let-down. But there are always exceptions to this rule. And those exceptions, more often than not, […]
