Dreamy Europe Trip Summer 2024 - Part 15 Paris France The End



After spending a night in Arconcey, we continued our journey to Paris. When I booked the car, I had arranged so that I could return the car at Orly Airport location just south of Paris. This decision was made because I didn’t want to drive through the city and we were coming from the south. Save gas, save time. And just look at the traffic jam as we got closer to the city!


From Orly Airport, we took a taxi to our AirBnB in Paris. We only had one night there, so we went out to explore right away. I purposely didn’t allocate a lot of time in Paris or in any large cities. After our last trip to NYC, we decided that we didn’t like large city travels that much afterall. We (I) had two main goals in Paris. One is to take a nice picture with the Eiffel Tower, and the second one is to shop for cured meat and cheeses to take home. 

In Paris, there is a gourmet supermarket called La Grande Epicerie de la Paris. This is where you can get nicer, quality stuff… of course with a price. The supermarket has more than one location and we went to the one on Rue de Passy because it was walking distance to Avenue de Camoens, one of the best spots to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower.
















Break time!

We also had the chance to try La Duree Macarons :) And yes, it was good.




That evening, we had dinner at a bar near our AirBnB. Everything we ordered were delicious! It was a nice closing to our trip, before going to the airport the following morning. And this is the end the Dreamy Europe Trip Summer 2024 series, please look forward to the next posts!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
