Paris; stopped there for a few days enroute from Africa,  and stayed at The Marriot in Paris; It was cold, and I walked through the park and one has to be on the lookout for swindlers.  I sensed someone was following me and looked around, and yes, a young guy was following, Soo I started to walk really fast, he was catching up, so I started to jog, and then run as fast as I could to the  Eiffel Tower which was lit up and breathed a sigh of relief, as he vanished when I looked back - low and behold, I outran him - quite a scare.
Then visited the Eiffel Tower which was awesome,  I ate the Parisian crepes and loved it.  Took a cruise along the river; Next day I visited The Louvre Museum, which is the world's most-visited place, also a historic landmark in Paris. It has best-known works of art, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo which I was able to see ( a long line to see the Mona Lisa.

2019 Traveled to Normandy from Paris on another trip en route to Africa to see (Giverny in Normandy) Claude Monet's Garden - it was not in bloom, but I enjoyed the town, visiting the church, his burial site, and looking around his mansion!
