A Day in Paris

I unexpectedly had a 14 hour layover in Paris, which didn't turn out to be all that bad! I arrived at the airport for my flight to Lagos, Nigeria and then on to Ethiopia and they wouldn't let me on the plane. Apparently you have to have a visa to even land in Nigeria, and I was only going to have a 3 hour layover! Turns out that several people I knew told me, after the fact of course, that they knew of instances where people were thrown in jail for arriving without a visa. So I suppose I'm thankful that Delta wouldn't let me on the plane!!

Rerouting issues and long waiting time in airports aside, the day in Paris was lovely! I've been three times, but it was the first time I've been there since I graduated from college and the first time I was able to just walk around and enjoy the city without engaging in a whirlwind of sightseeing. The weather was beautiful and I spent the day wandering through neighborhoods, drinking wine and coffee at cafes and eating delicious French food and desserts. It makes such a difference spending time in a city without having to feel like a tourist!

I only took a few pictures, but click here to see them.
