Love to stroll along the Seine. Wandering around Paris is wonderful. So much to see!

My kid had to work late while he was there because headquarters are in Boston.

The company he works for now has an office in Prague where part of his team is located, so now he needs to be in the office (fortunately he does this from home) many morning at 6:00am because of the time difference. Kid can’t win! 😜
