Mondays in Paris ::: Paris in the Fall

We spent most of your weekend just walking around

and taking in our favorite spots -

all with a completely new look to me,

as I was lucky enough to spend some of spring and summer there,

but never fall.

Let me tell you,

it is just as lovely now

with grey skies and golden leaves

as it was when the flowers were out

and the sun was still going strong.

I'm sure this doesn't surprise you.

I hope you have a great start to the new week!

Friday in Paris ::: On the Road

This post should actually be titled

Friday on the way to Paris

because I am about to get into the car

and drive off...

... to Paris.

My boyfriend's time there is up

and we are going on a roadtrip

to get his things.

If our internet cooperates,

the next Monday in Paris

will be live.

Berlin Moments

This time in Berlin was a bit different,

as sightseeing was mostly replaced by

time spent with friends

busily chatting away,

catching up on all that's been going on

and swooning over

a former classmate's new baby.

So the pictures I have for you today

are just a few quick impressions

from along the way...

Remember Glücklich am Park?

This time we stopped by its sister café

Kauf dich Glücklich

which means "Buy yourself happy."

I'm not so sure about buying happiness,

but sitting in this adorable café,

sipping hot drinks with friends

and telling our stories

definitely made all of us happy.

As did the fun little touches,

like selling

"Nothing!"

for 0 Euros

and a lounge area by the toilet.

Walking along the streets of Berlin

there is never a dull moment

and I discovered this sweet

question on a wall:

"When will you finally kiss me?"

Someone added the answer beneath in the red heart:

"Now."

Berlin Is Waiting

I am off to Berlin today!

A reunion with my

best friends from high school awaits,

lucky me.

In the meantime,

here are some other Berlin posts of mine.

Mondays in Paris

will be a few days late next week,

I hope you won't mind

a Thursday or Friday in Paris instead.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mondays in Paris ::: Reading Material

It's that time of year

that makes you want to

curl up with a good book.

So why not do that in Paris for today?

Have a wonderful Monday

and a great week!

Mondays in Paris ::: Je suis désolée.

Sacre bleu,

it's Monday already?

Where did the last week go?

I'm sorry,

all I have to offer today is a sweet spring rose

and a view of the Pont des Arts...

Have a great start to your week!

Mondays in Paris ::: A Quick Walk

Monday has arrived once again,

the sun is shining

and all I want to do is stroll through

beautiful neighborhoods.

So today I have a simple post

with a few favorite Paris moments.

I am dreaming of

favorite boutiques

merry-go-rounds

those omnipresent chestnut trees

white and beige facades

colorful store fronts

beauty in the everyday

yellow roses, blue fences

striped umbrellas

and that rooftop balcony in the sun.

Have a lovely Monday,

I hope you enjoy this first week of October!
