Heading back to my happy place, this time with a 1-year visa and an apartment one-year lease in hand! And no, that's not us in the photo!! I call this one "Keith Richards' Mother Does Paris!"

We'll use Paris as our base for explorations throughout Europe and to be close to our family who's been living outside of Munich for almost 5 years — 6300 miles from Mimi and GrandBob back here in L.A.! Can't wait to resume our street wanderings, café sampling and art/culture immersions! Follow along here and you should see some fun images as we take this awesome journey!
