As you may recall, Stacey and Alex are our friends from Basel. They moved to Basel from SF about the same time that Nate and I moved to Zurich and over the past 2+ years we’ve traveled with them to numerous European destinations. Some highlights have been Oktoberfest in Munich, Dublin, Istanbul, Zermatt, Normandy and so many more! Anyways, the time has come for Stacey and Alex to move back to SF in just a few weeks and before leaving they were able to fit in one last weekend with us, this time here in Paris. We were thrilled to see them one more time! And on top of it, Stacey is also pregnant and due in early January. So we could compare notes as well.
They arrived last Saturday in time for us to take them to our favorite little noodle shop, Happy Nouilles, for lunch. We spent the afternoon walking around Paris...had to visit a few Parisian baby shops over in the 17th so they could take something home for their little girl. We then ended up at Place de la Concorde, walked through the Jardin de Tuileries and over to Rue Montorgueil for a brief rest and a drink. They had been to Paris once before for a long weekend so they saw most of the iconic sights at that time. We had a lovely dinner near our neighborhood that evening and on Sunday, brunch with their friends DA and Kelly. After that we were off to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur to show them an area they had never seen before. We got lucky with the weather as it was just beautiful with sun and blue skies. And before we knew it, it was time for us to head back to our apartment and for them to head back home.
Stacey and Alex will forever be our European travel partners and will hold a huge part in our European adventure memories. See you back in SF someday!!
