Happy New Year 2016 from Paris

Paris, the city of lights. This was another wonderful trip to Paris. It was nice to have lunch and meet with our Parisian friends. I will admit, the mood and atmosphere were different this time, understandably so after the recent terrorist attacks on the city. It weighed heavy on those that I spoke with, still talking about it and the welcomed extra security that followed. This time the locals seemed happier to see tourists, not usually the case for a city so filled with tourists.

There were many good restaurants, it is hard to pick my favorites. I spent Christmas Eve at Lili, a Chinese restaurant at the new Peninsula Hotel. The rooftop restaurant at the Peninsula had an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower.

As you probably know by now, I love a good escape room. This trip I tried the two rooms at Escape Hunt Paris. I do not want to spoil it, but they both were a lot of fun and set up well.

For New Year’s Eve, I returned to the Lido. It was so much fun a couple of years ago and it did not disappoint this time. The show and music was a wonderful way to start 2016.

Happy New Year!

Ciao for now!
