Butler Family Travels

Well, we did enjoy Paris!  Its art wrapped up our art history lesson perfectly. Its food satisfied our appetites. Fortunately, and following a pattern typical of this trip, we arrived with weather perfect for each day and its activities.  In this case, the first good, warm spring weather.  The cliché Paris in Springtime is, well, you know, and as a bonus made us really happy to be coming home during this season. We ended up leaving our ascent of the Eiffel tower until the last day.  The Elevator door opened and the first thing we noticed was the lighted board above the windows that shows the major cities of the world at their bearing from Paris, along with the distance to that city and the height of its tallest tower.  “Hey!  We’ve been there, take a picture.”  There too, and there, and so on all the way around the observation deck.  This silly, unexpected exercise brought it home that we really did go all the way around.  We enjoyed the view until they were closing down for the night and we had to catch the last train to our apartment.  A perfect wrap for this travel around the world project! It all feels a bit overwhelming, so it may take us a week or two to process and be able to write some follow up posts.  Please continue checking our website!  We will let you know when we have finished up.

That’s kinda a lot and I don’t have too much more to say. Ha. Soon, logistics for me will look quite a bit different – answering phones, scheduling, cooking, cleaning, all that fun stuff. Life is good! Here’s a bit more showing our time in Paris. All four of us really liked it and we are super glad we ended the trip there.  

Well, its over… and I’m happy for that. I’m not saying the trip wasn’t awesome. It was! I’m just happy to be somewhere that I know. Paris was really fun and If I had to live in a city that would be on the top of the list. Now, to answer some of those questions that I know all of you will ask. #1. How was your trip? It was awesome… duh. #2.What was your favorite place? Well, that’s a hard one, but I would say my top three would be Ton Sai, Thailand, Jordan, and France. #3. What was the funnest thing you did? We went to see the play Monty Python in London. It rocked. #4. Would you do a trip like this again? NO, not one exactly like this. #5. Where would you like to go back to? Thailand, Israel, Greece ( I want to go to the Island, Kalymnos for the climbing) Nice, and Paris, France. #6. Where do you want to go next? Spain and  Portugal are next on the list. P.S. If you have read this, please don’t ask me the questions that I just answered. 😉
