The best parts of being a homebody
After celebrating Athina’s wedding in Aix-en-Provence in southern France, we took the train back up to Paris! Neither of us had been before this trip, so we spent a few days exploring the city. It wasn’t nearly enough time, but we loved it nonetheless!
I just got back from the most amazing trip to France. It was my first time visiting, and it was for an absolutely beautiful reason—my best friend’s wedding!
Athina and I have known each other for 18 years now (yikes that makes me feel old). We met in high school, and had lockers next to each other almost every year. We still talk almost daily, even though she moved to France back in 2013.
When I found out she was engaged, I immediately knew I would do everything I could to attend the wedding. The pandemic made it a bit trickier, since we weren’t sure where the world would be at and whether we’d feel safe traveling. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, and French President Macron was highly involved in mediating the conflict.
Basically… it was just another year in this crazy world that we’ve somehow grown numb to.
Thankfully, everything worked out for Sean and I to attend Athina’s wedding and explore a bit of the country she now calls home. There’s a lot to cover, so I’m going to split our trip into two blog posts!
