Europe Trip-Paris the first leg
We just got back from Europe and we had quite an adventure! So much to tell but I will just do some highlights for now...
Paris was our first stop. First impressions:
Easy to use the subway and public transportation. Never needed a cab (except once and THAT is a long story).
Very clean, trash cans were everywhere and people used them. This was the cleanest city we were in of them all.
Monuments were amazing to see.
Espresso and pastries were the best we ever had.
History of the city and how well preserved everything is was awe-inspiring.
Day to day items are expensive (but this was also true in Italy). 5 euros for a bottle of coke which is appx $7.00! Good thing we don't drink soda often.
Water is not automatically given. You have to ask and pay for either still or gas (fizzy). Never served ice with any beverage in either country.

More cards and answer to the trip clues
I've been able to make some more cards lately. I hope you enjoy them. I try to make cards that suit the personality of the person it's intended for, but I do like to have a box made up for misc occasions that I can go to when I don't have time to make a special one.
On a side note my friend Sunshine sent me one of her first easel cards. She's previously been to France and Italy so she was excited over our upcoming trip. Isn't her travel card too cute! I love the surprise on the back of the card.
So for those of you guessing we travel to Europe in March. We are spending 4 days apiece in Paris, Florence, Venice, and Rome. If you have any favorites from those places let me know. We love to find great places to eat, see, shop and visit when we travel.
Have a great day!
