Off to Paris! A final stop before home.

We awoke in Verona to discover that Sara had accidentally booked our flights to Paris for the day before, so we missed those! Whoops! Luckily, you can get a same day flight anywhere you want, for about double the original price and no money back on your first flight! So, that was something!
But, we didn't let it stop us and we decided to enjoy our last bits of time in Verona before hitting the road to Milan to catch our flight to Paris!



We hit the streets! Bags packed and waiting in the hotel!




Peter saw this church, went in, and took this pic.

That's an old city wall!


 Peter doing a jazzy pose near one of the old walls.

This was a real highlight for Peter! We found this cheese and meat truck at this super locals market in Verona. He was mesmorized by giant wheels of fresh parmisean, cured meats, and everyone speaking Italian! We got some cheese and Peter got 3 different meats to take home...he was so happy.
 






****As happy as this meat purchase made Peter, we claimed that we had meat on our form when we got back and it all got taken at customs! Peter was devastated. It was a very sad day for him. He had been dreaming about serving our parents Italian salamis for Opal's first birthday. Good news...all of our wine made it. Whew!



 Look at that old wall!!! That's B.C.!!!! Crazy!


Walking to find our lunch spot!

We came to a little pasta place. Opal was fast asleep and the music was blaring! Another great meal!

So sad to be leaving. Peter may have been staring at pasta being made.

The staff here was VERY young! One of the chefs looked 14!!!



 Savoring his last Italian pasta.



Oh, good! We found a really old bar to have an outside drink!

 Peter found his place in Verona Italy.

And then off to Milan to catch our flight...this time we made it! Right day and time. 


Flying over the French Alps!








 Flying into Paris...the tower is down there!




After landing, we made our way to the hotel we were staying at...right at the airport and we were on to dinner! We had such a lovely dinner with awesome people who worked at the hotel. It was a great way to end the trip! The flight home was good and we made it back safe and sound. Opal Moon even got to sit next to another little baby, Vesper,  and they were very cute together. We are back and a bit jet lagged, but so happy from our incredible time! It truly was magical and something we will never forget! 




 Peter was excited to ride the trolly in the airport.






Opal was confused as to what to drink at dinner!






 Oh wait, she found it!


 And then we posed her next to Peter's psychadelic beer.


 Dinner was fantastic!




We may have tired Opal Moon out!

Goodbye Paris! Until next time! We were really excited to ride upstairs in the plane!



THE END.
