Paris photo dump: buildings, architecture, and quirk. Some famous spots, plus mostly wandering around and taking it all in.

What I wore in Paris and Netherlands where the first half of the trip was cold and second half was hot. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Polka dots, stripes, leopard print, black, scarves, dark denim, moto jacket, sneakers, loafers, ballerina flats, booties, and a little bit of tulle.🩰

August photo dump …. After two years of blood, sweat, and tears I did something I never thought I would have the opportunity to do - graduated from with a master’s degree in Mass Communication (with a concentration in Public Interest Communications) online from the University of Florida. Going back to school after decades was a wild ride, having to do it all online was wilder, but I loved the process. Onward to more adventures! Oh, and you’re never too old. Dream on and on and on. ✨✨✨📷: @gregzartz
