Paris: Final Destination

Just as the Tour de France concludes with a lap around the Champs Elysées, so too does my trip. In fact, that was the first place I went once I got here and waited to meet up with John and David. My flight to Ireland is on Sunday afternoon, and until then I'll be exploring the rest of this beautiful city. Brugge turned out to be one of the best places I've been to; it's as if it was placed in a time capsule back in medieval times and perfectly preserved until today. It was a great example of "old" Europe. More to write, but I'm on the clock and we're about to hit the town for dinner. Travelling alone was a great blessing in many instances, and provided me the possibilities that gave me the best memories, but it's nice to be somewhere with some familiar faces again.
