PARIS, JE T’AIME! OUR EUROPEAN ADVENTURE BEGINS!

Three weeks. Three weeks exploring Europe with my mom and sister. It's a dream come true, a grand adventure we've been planning for months, and it's finally here! Our journey began with a short stopover in Shanghai, a fascinating glimpse of another world, before we boarded our flight to Paris. This was a big one – their first long-haul flight and their first taste of Europe! Thankfully, the plane was comfortable, making the long journey a little easier.

And then… Paris! Our first day was a whirlwind of excitement. Everything felt so new and magical. Even something as simple as riding the Metro for the first time was an adventure for my mom and sister. They were so excited to navigate the Parisian subway system, and it gave them a real taste of local life.

We spent the day exploring the city streets, soaking in the unique Parisian atmosphere. We popped into the iconic Shakespeare and Company bookstore, a bookworm's paradise. Then, we strolled along the Champs-Élysées, taking in the sights and sounds of this famous avenue. The Arc de Triomphe was truly magnificent, a perfect photo opportunity.

It was a jam-packed day, full of firsts and unforgettable moments. We walked until our feet ached, but the smiles on our faces never faded. Tomorrow, the Eiffel Tower! The anticipation is palpable. Paris, you've already stolen our hearts. Très bien! Our European adventure is off to an incredible start, and we can't wait to see what the next three weeks hold.
