April in Paris Day 1. While it’s true that I arrived in the City of Light on the last day of the month, I still feel I can claim this joy. Ah, a moment to reflect~ followed by happy sighs. I had spent the day prior to my departure scrambling with last minute packing and of course, spent the night watching the Royal Wedding. I boarded my plane shortly after the balcony kiss.
