Hotel Alexander Paris

While Farmor and Tyler went shopping, Sue, Evie and Tom went Montmartre for some views and some art. Evie did a drawing for Farmor near the famous artist's square and we had a lovely lunch of Croque Madame and frites. Yum!! Later that afternoon, we went to the highly praised Jardin du Luxembourg playground, which lived up to its billing. Crazy c...

Day 1 - Wednesday 19th August - Our flight from Ireland to Paris was a bit jumpy, had a few turbulent moments and on three occassions I saw other planes pass us! Bit weird as I have never seen another plane in the air when I've been flying so it kind of freaked me out a bit.

We went through the lengthy process of customs and then tackle...

French fries are truly a French invention - and they are everywhere! And super delicious too!

I was thinking that the last week was pretty crazy, with getting settled in and everything - but I'm quickly beginning to realize that the week...

So we headed off to try for Cezanne & Picasso, as did every one ...

Jenny and I arrived first and went to take in some local flavor, and t...

London was just great, the course on yoga for children was inspiring, I learnt a lot from it and I'm looking forward to practise teaching to young children.It was interesting to learn how to keep their attention on different exercises, making up songs and stories involving yoga postures, I had a lot of fun. London is so beautiful and I was lucky...
