My childhood friend from summer camp and I traveled to one of our favorite continents - Europe! This time we were headed to the city of love for a few days before embarking on the Scenic Gem for a week long Seine River cruise. From Paris to the coast of Normandy we experienced Bastille Day on the English Channel, explored the quaint streets of small villages, marveled at Claude Monet's flower gardens, savored every meal and fell in love with the relaxing pace of river cruising.
