(Photos from December 2015) What can anyone say about Paris? Everything you’ve seen and heard about how spectacular Paris is , is true. This trip to Paris was back in December 2015, when we were expecting our little boy. Just a month earlier , Paris had suffered the consequences of…
On the last weekend of August we had a quick getaway from the city, to make amends for our ruined summer vacation. The weather was not what you would call optimal for a swim at the sea so we decided that we go to Karpenisi. Karpenisi is in a region…
