Back to the roots

After all of my Summer adventures in Colombia and Hawai'i I finally decided it was time to go home to spend some time with my family and friends. Using my parents' apartment in Paris as my home base, I spent a couple of months moving around in France.

I went back to the roots and spent a week in Bretagne at the Glenan archipelago, where I spent many summers learning to sail when I was younger. Then I headed South and spent some time in the Alps and in Lyon, visiting friends and spending some much longed for quality time with my 2-year old niece - even having her all to myself for a few days while my sister in law was giving birth to her little brother.
