My first trip to Paris – 1989

July 19, 2010

We literally jumped for joy when we – my cousin and some friends – saw the Eiffel Tower for the very first time. It was our first trip to Europe and we had done everything we could in our 16 days. We began in Germany, visiting the family of my cousin’s family’s foreign exchange student. Then we moved on to Lichtenstein, Austria, northern Italy, stopped in Switzerland and finally arrived in Paris. Back then, the language and the currency was different nearly every day!

It was just before the 200th Anniversary of Bastille Day we arrived. For three glorious days, we walked on air.

Paris. There is nothing like it. I long to return.
