The Last Day -- July 21

I'm all checked in for my flight in the morning, largely packed, and have a free day today for last minute fun before a farewell dinner this evening! 

There's an English-language bookstore around the corner from my apartment called "Shakespeare and Co."  It's a Paris institution from what I understand (and more recently, a TikTok one according to my niece!) -- and the lines outside the door would seem to agree.  Every time I've walked by, I've been like "nah, not today."  Well, today was the day.  I was there about 15 minutes before it opened and a line had already started.  I enjoyed wandering around and even grabbed a book for the plane. 

The one thing on my bucket list was doing a nice tea time somewhere -- and luckily, the stars aligned and we were able to get reservations at the Ritz Paris when my sister was in town!  What a regal experience...it felt like we took a step back in time. 

  

 

Our farewell dinner was at a lovely place called "Les Baux de Paris" (https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Restaurant_Review-g187147-d12833057-Reviews-Les_Baux_de_Paris-Paris_Ile_de_France.html).  It's been a great trip with a great group of people! 


Thanks for following along with me on this journey.... see you stateside!
