Location: Paris, France
Court: Parc de Belleville
Finally getting around to sharing the rest of my trip with you all. I apologize for the break, I got back to work and started a new job and sometimes my mind runs off with me.
Luckily the trip was so impactful to me, I really can’t forget a lot of the details.
Paris was phenomenal. I really understand why people make such a fuss about making it here at some point in their lives. While I didn’t make it out to all the different sights and museums, I think I made a good start.
Spent numerous days wandering Monmartre, listening to street performers. Found myself at the Eiffel Tower at night, the Sacre Coeur. Tried Boeuf Tartare (raw meat is a little wild, especially when not expecting it, but I quite enjoyed it). Really spent a lot of time hanging out on the rooftop with a little crew of misfits, and the lovely folks of Les Piaules (my hostel) rooftop. Sometimes it’s about the people.
One slightly cold and rainy day, I ventured out to find my court. Les Piaules is in the heart of the Belleville neighborhood, and so is this lovely park. Pathways lined with rose bushes, trails branching off in different directions. Decidedly an active place to be.
Definitely got the lighting wrong in this video, but the shot goes in, so I think it’s satisfactory.
Next up: Amsterdam, Netherlands
FYI, we have closed donations, but we raised $870!! I’ll be writing a post more about that soon. :)
Thanks and much love,
