We like almost any kind of museum - fine art, science, natural history - whatever it is, we want to learn about it.

The way that light reflects from the sea-foam green Seine river to the cream-colored buildings, the way it bounces off pebble paths onto marble statues, is simply dreamy. Standing on … Continue reading sunset in the tuileries
Are you guys into thrillers - books or movies? I used to enjoy a good thriller movie (the Village, Disturbia, Final Destination), but now I can hardly watch them because they mess with my mind and anxiety too much (I get panic attacks!). Actually, now that I'm looking at it, a lot of my favorite … Continue reading Thrillers
