Paris – Place de la Concorde and Opéra

With the darkened sky and chilly wind, Paris suddenly felt like early winter. The rain finally came, those sculptures and fine buildings seemed gleaming more delicately and brightly in the rain.

Seattle – Olympic National Park

In hindsight, we should plan the trip to the park better. Given the distance from the city, you should plan to stay at least two nights in order to explore the Pacific side of the Olympic National Park.

Seattle – City

We spent one day to explore both sides of the downtown on foot.

Half Moon Bay Excursion

One-day excursion to Half Moon Bay revealed several candidates that we can make a short stay in the future.

Paris – Les Invalides and Champs-Élysées

After several sunny and warm days, a cloudy Paris allowed us to taste a different kind of romance of the city. Our focus of the city tour also shifted from the left bank to the right.

Paris – The Seine

In a beautiful day of autumn, whether overlooking from the top of Notre Dame or cruising on the river boat, you will fall in love with the Seine.

San Diego

First-time visit San Diego downtown, Gaslamp Quarter. What a vibrant town at the night!

Paris – Left Bank

Jardin du Luxembourg maybe lively and charming, but what surprised us was how so many people could sit around the pond in a weekday afternoon. French really know how to enjoy their lives! Well, maybe it's related to their 35-hour workweek rules. Weekend already starts on Friday afternoon.

Paris – Latin Quarter

The Latin Quarter is known for its niche bookstores, quirky boutiques, intimate bistros and cafés. Maze-like side streets are narrow and crowded. Home to a number of oldest universities in the world, its lively and romantic atmosphere attract students and intellectuals for more than 800 years.
