My visit to Paris was way overdue, but I finally made it here!
With just about 24 hours total duration split in two halves, I decided to simply walk the city.
My hotel was at downtown Paris. The Louvre was a just few
minutes away, so it was my first stop. There were so many people on the
streets and at the Louvre Plaza! From there, I headed to Pont Neuf, stopping at
Sainte Chapelle then Notre Dame, before heading to the Pantheon. There are many fortress like buildings in Paris and a lot of them have intricate
carving/decorations, I felt like my eyes were saturated with arts and beauty :) But Notre Dame truly stood out for the wonder of its intricacy, I could just
imagine the thrill of touching its carvings with my fingertips.

When night started to fall, I walked toward Eiffel
tower. The distance to it felt short quickly as I saw its luminous outline a mile away. Reaching to the bottom of the tower and looking up, I was in awe. Paris is definitely a night city. With
the lights up, everything seemed to come alive with a more charming rhythm.
Even river Seine came alive with colors and sounds.

Sunday morning started with a thick cloud, the Eiffel looked to be engulfed in a thick mist. I started my way toward the Arc de Triomphe. By the time I got there the sun broke out, morning sunray shone directly on the Arc de Triomphe creating a triumph scene for me!
On my way back I walked along the river Seine then through Jardin des Tuileries. Noticing spring flowers breaking through the ground, it touched my heart and gave me a wave of unexpected emotions.
Yes, I do miss the crispy cold mornings, and I miss the
seasons! The signs of early spring have such a strong uplifting power, for hope
and for better future! It’s rather fitting as we finally see the end of covid
and life gradually back to normal!
