Day 1
Thursday, April 18
1:30 PM – My loving in-laws drove us to BWI airport for our 8:30 PM flight. We arrived in Paris at 1:05 PM their time and checked into our hotel.
Before our trip, I did my due diligence on Parisian attire, basic etiquette, and how to pack. Therefore, my travel suitcase only had casual flats, fancy flats, and shower shoes. My sneakers, or what my husband would call “tennis shoes,” I wore on the day of travel.
After sightseeing, we shared French pastries while our friends were still on the clock. The Olympic banners hung around the city were a chef’s kiss!
Airport Selfie
Stretching to get a selfie of us standing in line at the airport.
Under the Plane
Underbelly of the Iceland plane.
Plane Buddy
Feeling giddy that we managed to get seats next to each other.
Kiosk Down
Creepy plastic over all of the kiosks that are shut down.
Throughout the plane ride, I followed the icon inchworming from BWI airport to Reykjavik, Iceland. Too bad I forgot to bring my audio cord to hook up to the movie seat screen.
1st Day Hotel View
Panorama of the hotel view at our first lodging.
Subway Wall Line Art
Beautiful lines of art on the cement subway walls. It reminded me of the subway from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Cemetery Name Wall
Endless list of names who rest in this grand cemetary. Sadly, we got there as it was closing.
We had a chocolate pastry, a chocolatine, with two more sweets in the background. In France, they are called pain au chocolat. Then, for lunch, we stopped at a nearby cafe. I had a baguette with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, dessert to share, and coffee.
Andrew really liked this tree. The grandness of greenery between the buildings is intriguing.
