Merci to Andrew and Helen. I’m really looking forward to my new career as a high-powered blogger.

Our first very quick stop after leaving San Francisco was Barcelona. We were there for four days, picked up an EU doggy passport, then took a train ride to Paris, where we are currently living. We will be here for a month.

This month will give me almost enough time to taste all of the pastry and viennoiserie on the Right Bank. I was told if you live on the Right Bank, you don’t really go to the Left Bank . . . (I intuitively understand this, as I do not like to cross Market Street in SF). One pastry I have not tried is the tasty-looking little cochon (piggy) in the blog header. I’ll do it today.

Here are some pictures of the Palais-Royal. Met a lot of dogs and a few humans here.

Just getting our blog legs under us, so no promises this will be any good for quite some time (or maybe ever). But don’t let that stop you from checking back frequently!

Au revoir for now.

Lauren
