One foot in front of the other
Here it is, day three of Katie’s Semi-Grand Tour. Today we took on the Louvre (ooh, ahh!) and the Galeries Lafayette and Montmarte, Sacre Coeur and the red light district (should one capitalize “red light district?” one thinks not). It was a lot of ground to cover, but by gum we did it! And we…

Time has this way of getting away from me…
Wow, I just looked at the last blog posting and noticed it’s been almost a month since I’ve written anything! Bad, bad blogger! There’s no good excuse except, well, life has just intervened and I haven’t taken the time to document it. In my defense, we’ve been working a lot during the week and playing…
