City of Lights

Last night I did something that I've been planning for a very, very long time -- I booked a flight to Paris! Five weeks from now Jordan and I will be spending a week there before heading to the south of France to spend another handful of days on the beach in Nice (and surrounding area).

Trip planning has been monopolizing a lot of my time (and budget!) lately, but besides that it's been a busy summer. A few weeks ago I headed to Ottawa for Bluesfest (and to visit a wonderful friend who I haven't seen in at least three years), where I saw my first Flaming Lips show. I've been lucky enough to see dozens of amazing concerts over the last decade, and this one was right at the top of the list. They closed the show with "Do You Realize" and it really was just one of those moments where the whole world seems to pause. It was unreal. The photos don't even do the craziness of a Flaming Lips show justice.


That's it for now, but I do hope to bring a laptop with me on the trip so I can post photos, etc., while I'm in France. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!
