It's always those pesky kids that ruin the perfect crime.

Und wie viele Weihnachtsmärkte?
Ich wünsche euch eine tolle Tour, möglichst wenig Verspätungen und keine technischen Probleme.
Ich bin gespannt auf eure Berichte!

Uh-oh. We're planning to visit the BM in March when going to see Hamilton. (Vhristmas present for 15yo) I guess we better stick to the Greek galleries only. (She's also a Percy Jackson fan.)

I went a year ago with then-14yo and her BFF. (Now she goes without me.) I just followed them around and I kind of looked at this and that. I discovered Egyptian cows, Louis XIV era golden toiletry boxes, and the famous portrait of King Francis. (Yes, that King Francis.) It's all about having time.

I learned years ago from my Parisian DH what that means.
"Accident voyageur" = they survived
"Accident grave voyageur" = they didn't

She's got tickets for the Louvre already. (<18 are free in both.)

UNESCO, of course. I blame my phone keyboard.

I saw that during my guided tour there last year! Very cool (but also sad that conditions wree such that it came to that) that there were strikes so long ago! (I live in France, strikes are part of daily life here.)
