Weekly Get-to-Know-Paris Challenge #38!

November 09, 2012

This week’s get-to-know-Paris challenge is to keep a journal of your Paris experiences.


The Louvre

Whether you are visiting for one weekend or you live in Paris, it is always interesting to put pen to paper (literally or virtually). Your impressions become more vivid when you take the time to reflect and you observe more when you know you will write about your experience later. You can keep a private diary of your experiences, a public journal (such as this blog!) or any variation in the middle. You could even start a photo-journal if you prefer.

Did you enjoy keeping a journal? Did you learn anything new about yourself or about Paris through this exercise?
