French Riveria and F1

And so begins her infatuation with airplanes- or so she likes to say "babayon" (avion in spanish). We took Little C-Lo's last flight in the "cheap" seats and headed to Nice and Monte Carlo for a long 4-day weekend. The past few years Ricardo's (January) birthday presents have been trips, concerts or excursions. Last year we went to the Madrid Open (tennis match). This year I thought he'd quite enjoy the F1 races in Monaco! He did. and it was a wonderful last getaway for the Riches family of 3.

Weekend in Paris

both of us have been here many times, never together. I had to be in Copenhagen for 2 weeks, Ricardo in Madrid- so being the abnormal people we are- we picked a weekend destination with the latest Sunday flight times. We were lucky enough to stay with our 2 close friends, Oscar and Esther. Wonderful weekend with food, wine, friends and beautiful sights. (not so great weather!)

at the Louvre

getting in the holiday spirit! cannot wait to be home for the holidays!

out of a suitcase....

I know I´m one to take things for granted.... But as I finally wrap up my summer training sessions, I feel very lucky to be given these opportunities with my work. Now if I can just remind myself this again on Monday morning. =) Here are a few of my stops from the past weeks.....

Copenhagen- back to the motherland

Marseille- South of France

Paris- w/ quick stops at Notre Dame, the Louvre, Moulin Rouge windmills, and Eifel Tower
