On my way home, I met up with a few friends in Paris for a short vacation before coming back to reality. It was a great way to ease into the transition back home as it was hard leaving Lebanon and my mind needed a break from the intensity that this summer had. Paris was a great place to do just that...my friends and I ate a lot of chocolate, enjoyed great wine, did some champagne tasting out in the country, bought beautiful artwork and spent time playing in one of my favorite cities.
