Paris, it’s always a good idea…
I have a lot of travel coming up in the near future! Will be heading to Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean next week, the Dominican Republic in April, Peru possibly in May, and Martinique in the French Caribbean too possibly! Super excited to take you all along with me!
But all this travel planning has me daydreaming about Paris. I spent a lot of time there over the last 2 years and this is a photo I took on one of my visits. It was such a beautiful night and such a beautiful view.—–

Marseille, South of France. ⛵️
There are Paleolithic cave paintings in underwater caves in this area that date back to 19,000 BC. But Marseille was best known during Antiquity as Massalia. It was one of the major trading ports of the Ancient World. 🌊

What’s your dream destination?
For me, my dream destination is any place that expands my horizons figuratively and literally. It’s where imagination and expectation mingle together on a rich palette of culture, scenery, and experiences.

Paris is a heady rush: the feeling you get when the earth drops out from under you when eyes meet and lips turn upwards in unison.
There is a heaviness that is etched in its architecture, a solemnity of the inevitable without any consequence because history lingers like trailed off sentences in tones reserved for late night confessions.
Paris sweeps you off of your feet: a lover so tragically beautiful on the outside while teeming on the inside with fleeting nostalgia-laced promises of a distant, yet familiar infinite.
This is the Medici Fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg. It was built by Marie de’ Medici in the 1630s. Marie de’ Medici was the second wife of King Henry the IV of France and the mother of King Louis the XIII of France. She was embroiled in quite a bit of mistress drama with one of Henry’s mistresses, Catherine Henriette de Balzac d'Entragues, Marquise de Verneuil and ended up with a not-so-favorable view in the public eye due to various political intrigue.
This particular incarnation of the fountain came into being during the 1800s after it underwent a restoration after spending many years in disrepair. The statues in the center represent Polyphemus discovering the lovers Acis and Galatea which was a popular story represented in art throughout the centuries. It’s a tale of love and jealousy.
