Hint 1: I am reading A Tale of Two Cities.
 |
| Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities in 31 installments beginning in April, 1859. This is the cover of one of the issues first serializing the novel. |
 |
| A wine shop in one of the two cities in 1780, near the beginning of the novel. The Gutenberg edition that I’m reading includes the original illustrations. Dickens is a fabulous author! |
Hint 2: I’ve been there before.
 |
| A postcard. |
Hint 3: You can find great birds there.
 |
| A European Robin that we saw in May, 2016. |
 |
| Moorhen and her chick, 2016. |
Did you guess?

What a wonderful edition of that book. Bird watching photos to come, I hope?
Oui oui Paree!!
Wonderful!! Enjoy your travels.
Ah, Paris in the spring! Have a wonderful vacation!
Have a wonderful trip!
The croissant was a good hint - though here we have an Italian café that has croissants as "Italian Breakfast"...
Either way: Wishing you a good flight and great weather in Paris!
Sounds awesome! Have fun and safe travels.
I'm trying...trying...trying...(and, sadly, failing) to contain my envy. I do wish you were in the other city of the Two Cities; I've never been there, and I'd not have to tamp down my jealousy as I hear about your adventures...
Okay. There. Contained. Eager to hear about all you see and do!
I hope you have a bon voyage.
Yes, I guessed, BUT I am so jealous. Lucky you.
Ugh, I am insanely jealous!!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
That moorhen is really interesting and I would die of happiness to see such a bird in the wild.
Dickens was my mom's favorite author. I really need to read something by him just to see for myself.
Bon voyage!
