We spent a lovely afternoon walking the Montmartre neighborhood ending at the gorgeous Sacre de Coure at sundown. We even climbed all the way up to the top

I followed #WWDC and #WWDC23 on Mastodon so I could catch up later today. I opened Ivory later in the evening to see…800+ new posts! I got a fairly good summary of the keynote including all the jokes, snark, and the hot-takes.

Twitter? What Twitter?

It’s 11:30 pm and I’m just getting into bed. We left at 8 am earlier today for breakfast and a Louvre guided tour at 9 am followed by Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie, Notré Dame (plus a VR experience) and then wandering around Left Bank. We got the Louvre Pyramid at night. So tired 🇫🇷

📺 Ted Lasso (2020). Loved watching the finale as we zoom from Amsterdam to Paris in a high speed train. The show ended perfectly and captured its essence. Im definitely gonna miss Ted and all the other characters ★★★★★

Arrived in Paris 🇫🇷 and managed to make sense to and out of the Metro to our AirBnB. We got some pretty sweet digs right next to the Louvre

I can’t get past thinking about the clatter but definitely look great to kick someone in the shin.

Protip while traveling in Europe: know what countries the European country colonized. We had the most amazing Indonesian platter of food in Amsterdam last night.

My son was too lost in the Maps app as he was leading us to the Oude Kerk (Old Church) to notice the skimpily clad woman in the window 🫣

We should make these cars popular in Austin as a foil against big ass trucks. They’ll definitely be more appropriate for the parking situation.

Having recently read the Diary, the visit to the Anne Frank House was sobering 🇳🇱 The spaces are so much smaller than I imagined. Devastating that it ended so badly for the two families 😭

No photos, of course, allowed inside.

Hello Amsterdam, you’re a little cold and dreary today

I had to give in to unexpected colder weather in Amsterdam and buy a sweatshirt. But surprisingly, I’m the only one in orange on the streets 🇳🇱
