This is the work of white supremacy. We will not let white supremacists and anarchists destroy our city. We will defend people of color, our rights, and our cities. #thisistheworkofwhitesupremacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0PlGtHzA30P4FugKabsY5V1uT0iH6D-o5r_o0/?igshid=usxnrkrl2i78

Embarking

Months of guidebooks and google maps are finally going to pay off as we embark on our excellent adventure. I’ve wanted to see the medieval and gothic cathedrals of France, the chateaux of the Loire, the Flemish masters of Belgium and Mont San Michel forever. We’ll be wandering around but not in, Paris. As we circle the city, counterclockwise, I’m looking forward to days of not knowing where or…
