Our #Paris #hotel was #HôteldesGrandesEcoles in the #LatinQuarter. It was like an oasis in the middle of the city. Surprisingly affordable, with a good breakfast. Staffed 24/7 by friendly, helpful people. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. Near #Pantheon, #NotreDame, #ClunyMuseum 🌺

Just returned from a 3-week vacation to Iceland and France where Wordle wasn't available until 8am local time. By then we were already out and about. I invite you to view travel photos in my feed🇮🇸🇫🇷

We were there just a few weeks ago! I will enjoy seeing your daily photos now. Btw, we didn't go behind the waterfall because we didn't have waterproof shoes and pants. Many people seemed like they were on a pilgrimage. It's a stunningly powerful site. 🇮🇸

Lost Place Djupavik

Lost place across the street of the old Hering Factory. I love the red colour and structure of the old house.

I have been following
@superchinois801.bsky.social for a few months. I admire the way they capture certain unusual perspectives. I had a particular interest in their Paris street scenes because my husband and I were planning a trip to France, from which we have returned.

A few months ago, you recommended Café Loki in Reykjavik. Now that we're home, I wanted to thank you for that, since we had only two dinners in Iceland, and we enjoyed the food very much. The other restaurant was Old Iceland. Here's a rainbow picture taken from the window of Café Loki. 🙏 🌈

It's wonderful to look at these, having recently been to Iceland. I would imagine that you encountered fewer tourists than we did. Yeah, okay, we were technically tourists too.

Thanks for the reminder. I appreciate your uplifting posts + the Vaticats.

We just returned from 3 weeks in France, with a 2-day layover in Iceland. If you like travel photos, I'll be posting in small batches over the next few days. Please have a look. I would be honored to deliver you a smile. 🙏

In the wee hours of this morning, we returned from a 3-week #vacation and I'm clawing my way back to the world. We began with 2 days in #Iceland visiting in the town of #Grindavik on our way to a #hike on #Fagradalsfjall #Volcano which #erupted in 2021 and 2022 #lava #hotelaska #Reykjavik #landscape

I share your affection for C&H. We have several of their books from when our daughter was a teenager. But I haven't ordered anything from Amazon since the inauguration. I canceled my Kohls card at the same time. Same with Paramount.
