Memories of Paris. I don't know where this photo was taken.. somewhere in Paris, somewhere not too far from the 18th arrondissement. That's about all I know. ? ? This was my first day in Paris. My first day in Europe, even. I'd never set foot on the European continent before this day, and I was a wide eyed tourist, full of wonder.? ? I've since been back numerous times. I've learned to speak French. I've slowly learned about the culture. I've spent extended periods of times based in France. ? ? But I'll never forget this first glimpse, this first moment. The first time I experienced Europe
