ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
We had long planned to visit Vienna, partly because I had never been there. Our last try, a few years ago, was canceled due to illness. As with last time, I bought tickets in advance for the Lippizaner stallion show and an orchestral Mozart concert.
Following our busy remodeling and upgrade efforts at our condo in Playa del Carmen, it was time to set out for another summer in Europe—our first stop: Vienna. Our trip to Vienna rapidly became a luggage3 “adventure”, the term we use when things don’t go too well.
Our three-month stay in Paris is the fulfillment of a 25+ year-old dream. While in college, I knew people who did study abroad and I was upset that I didn’t figure out how to make that happen. It took a long time, but we finally made it happen.
This article describes some of our most memorable dining experiences in Paris. We had to keep our strength up for going to school and visiting museums and we couldn’t leave Paris without showing and telling you about the food.
In addition to visiting the many museums and sites of Paris, indulging in dining and shopping in Paris is always at the top of our lists whenever we visit.
