It's been a year since we haven't seen each other... Life runs so fast... We collect the moments of our beautiful meetings on this Earth, given to us by the Lord...

After we last saw each other a year ago in Kemer with my son, when he came for two days from Poland, he returned to Ukraine... Business and volunteering in wartime occupied all of my son's time. He could not leave Ukraine and only now had the opportunity to go to Paris for a few days for a conference.
My Darinka always dreamed of seeing the Eiffel Tower. So dreams come true again. And I will see my dear son!
And here we are sitting on the plane and I feel the adrenaline before the flight. Darinka is not afraid. And I always pray hard because I feel insecure on the plane.
We rose above the sea of โ€‹โ€‹Antalya, the beautiful mountains became small! It looked like a beautiful fairyland!

And now we were already flying above the clouds, which looked like an incredibly exciting white sea! It is like another amazing space that amazes with its beauty!
Here on the plane we can feel the value of water with you! For a bottle of 0.33 ml, I had to pay 2 euros, or 65 TL!
In Turkey such water 0.5 ml costs 8 TL. And I always said: it's too expensive :)

I like to observe how the land types of different countries change from a height of flight. Here you see now French land, Which looks like a carpet sewn from colorful pieces of fabric.

Finally we landed and my girls made a fun game, they sat on the escalator where the suitcases go. Such beautiful luggage went with the suitcases :)

And here we are again in the exciting New Country about which we have heard so much, whose language is absolutely incomprehensible and difficult, and whose songs are beautiful and exciting!
We took the train and then the subway to the street where our airbnb apartment was located.
Our settlement was delayed for two hours and we found a cozy bar "Avto", to warm up and drink tea, as the streets of France were cold enough after warm Turkey.
My Victoria was very angry because she was very cold. But I made her smile, It looks fun :)
The tea that costs 4.5 euros also reminded us of a good Turkish tea for 0.5 euros in the most expensive tourist cafes :)
Life in Europe is too expensive for us!

European exclusive charm was felt here. This cafe had its own bright face. There was a sports car on the ceiling.
When we went down to the toilet, there was a very interesting area in red. A wheel as a toilet paper holder ๐Ÿ˜Š

And now the long-awaited moment has finally arrived! I hugged my son, whom I had not seen for a whole year, and my daughters saw their brother! We spent the evening in a cozy apartment in Paris, which had beautiful panoramic windows and warmed us with its warmth on a cold rainy day.

Imagine how delicious mom's coffee was for my son, and how long our conversations were! After not seeing each other for so long, we had a lot to tell each other.

By the way, I finally fully understood why balconies are called French balconies. Because it is in Paris that these fake small balconies are on all the houses! It is the balconies, on which it is impossible to sit, but only to stand, and are a unique touch of Parisian architecture.
