Love in Paris
Love makes me think of a few months ago, when Paul and I were in Paris. The charm, walking the streets, holding hands, a quiet hush as we viewed Notre Dame, and walking through the legendary Shakespeare and Company!
Standing on the Pont Neuf (the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine) and taking it all in. We missed the golden hour, but we were in beautiful places at night.
The lights just look different in Paris–they glow. [Coming soon, a trip recap to Paris!]
What a blessing that we could visit this city that I’ve ready about my entire life. There is something about visiting a city for the first time, isn’t there?
For now, put this easy dessert on your menu this week for Valentine’s Day!
