April 24 - Paris, i am ready!! All caught up, jet lag gone and ready to explore discover more B&Bs apartments and city secrets and new places We will be sharing all. But first things first, reacquainting myself, reigniting the affair with my neighbourhood @ Montmartre. And as routine, it starts with a very early morning walk, before the crowds or even locals are about and my eye is on the Sacre Coeur. Bliss morning moments. Paris I am ready for you!! happy day everyone.

my montmartre landmark. the point at rue lepic and rue abbesses, the point of indecision, the point i come to when i can either go left to go home or go right for another round of the hood.
