June 13, The Seine


Shakespeare and Company Bookstore, opened by George Whitman in 1951, continues the legacy of Sylvia Beach’s early 20th century Paris bookstore, inviting writers to visit. The bookstore hosts a yearly festival of writers; we took the opportunity to hear Alistair Horne, author of The Seven Ages of Paris speak.















A boat ride on the Seine that night pulled the wonders of the city,
bathed in evocative lighting,
into a continuous photo opportunity. Our departure site, the Eiffel Tower, was blinking as we took off on our journey.
