Glen made his way over to meet me in Paris after I finished work for the week, his first trip to the city despite me having been working there all year. The weather was looking average on Saturday morning but by lunch time it was turning into the most fabulous weather I've seen in Paris all year. We wandered around and checked out the main tourist sites, a great opportunity for me to test out my new camera. The highlights for me were eating loads of yummy treats from Ladurée, a picnic dinner by the Eiffel Tower, the Fat Tire Bike Tour where we cruised through the city at night and Montmartre in the sun on Sunday.
