I took the opportunity, like every one else on my tour this year to arrive a bit early so that I could get out and enjoy some sights not in our tour. Each year when we do this tour, there is always something different to see … I hope you enjoy going through these pictures and seeing a bit of what I saw before the tour and what our tour offered.

Paris … truly a magical city! I arrived at our hotel just after noon on Thursday and after getting settled in, I headed out to walk around a bit and get to know the area we were in this time. Such a city, steeped in history and statues everywhere! I was so glad to be back!
