There’s probably something completely offensive about the title of this post(card). Anyway.
Tuesday morning we took the Eurostar train from Paris to London, and other than a rather rude British border agent, the trip was great. We spent the day at the British Library and wandering around London until Josh’s feet more or less gave up (we walked everywhere in Paris and Josh is hopelessly out of shape). We’re staying in Enton Hall, outside of Godalming, Surrey, with some family friends (thanks to Tony & Melissa!), which is a beautiful, converted estate. Wednesday we got a tour of some beautiful little villages in Surrey. Thursday was a whirlwind sightseeing day back in London: The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, 221b Baker Street, British Museum and even a show (Warhorse at the New London Theatre). Smashing!
Next up: hiking the Ridgeway Trail!

Bonjour!
We arrived in Paris this morning at 7:30a, neither of us having slept a minute on the plane. Coach class in American Airlines leaves something to be desired.
We got out of the Metro at the St Michel stop and what was the first thing we saw? The Notre-Dame! (So we took some photos).
The hotel is beautiful, tucked away in the Latin Quarter, but our room wasn’t ready, so as much as we wanted to nap, we spent the next 4 hours wandering around- back to Notre-Dame, Quai de la Tournelle, breakfast on Boulevard Saint Germain, Jardin des Plantes. We took a quick nap when we got into the room and then went exploring again- checking out the Left Bank and Jardin du Luxembourg. What a day!
It’s 9:30p, still light out, we’re both completely exhausted, but incredibly happy, and now it’s time for bed.
Au revoir!
Our first postcard!
Hi from New York!
We’re very excited about our trip and can’t wait to get going. We’ll start updating this site as soon as we’re overseas on the 16th of July. Stay tuned (and feel free to subscribe to posts so you can get notifications whenever we ‘send’ a new ‘postcard’)!
love,
Josh and Meg
