Welcome to my travels. On this site you'll find recent trips and some very old trips. You'll note that for some trips I wrote very detailed reports (at least in the beginning), for others, I didn't even take notes of where I was on what dates. Nevertheless, I've done my best to document, to the extent I can, all of my major trips.

Day 2

Paris, France

The next day started at the Bois de Bologne. Then it was off to the Hotel National des Invalides, looking for wounded soldiers. Fortunately, everyone there seemed healthy.

The next stop was the Rodin Museum. This was one of Ellery's favorite places in Paris, and we spent much time here studying the sculptures. Ellery decided to draw several of them, including The Thinker and one Ellery dubbed "the flying woman."

That afternoon, we were off to the Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise, seeking the final resting place of the rich and famous. Alas, we could not find Oscar Wilde, despite a long search.

Day 1

Paris, France

We arrived in Paris and shortly after checking into our little hotel, we started with the most important visit of all, to the Eiffel Tower.

Ellery sat right down on the stairs behind the Trocadero and made her first sketch of the trip, a very good rendering of the Tower.

After viewing the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower, we took a sunset trip on the Bateaux Parisiens to look for the bridge from which Madeline fell. Pretty sure she had spotted it, Ellery snapped a picture.
