I've gotten such nice complements on my new header picture and wanted to share the background on this picture. My new Header Picture was taken in 1996 when my husband and I went on a trip to Europe and visited family in Germany and Paris, France. We took a bus from Mainz, Germany and went to Paris with my cousin Sabine and her husband Brian. We took this picture while walking along a street in Montmartre. This is such a lovely city with beautiful architecture and lovely shops and restaurants. I enjoyed walking the streets and taking in the culture and beauty of this city.
Montmartre is referred to as a hill in the north of Paris, France. Montmartre was a little village on the outskirts of the city of Paris until it was discovered by artists in the nineteenth century. Many famous painters lived and worked here, Van Gogh, Lautrec, Seurat, Monet etc
This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I have fond memories of this special time.
