La Marais

The Jewish quarter was unreal. Yehuda and I went out for our first meat meal since we started this trip! We’ve been vegan ever since we left home and I was dying for some meat! We ate at Rodechenko’s and it was phenomenal.

Then we continued on our journey and made our way to Manmarte which is the artist district of Paris. Artists flood the streets with their creativity painting while shoppers walk around the square looking for something to take home with them. Personal portraits, the Moulin Rouge and The Eiffel Tower are some of the few options you’ll see being painted around there. 

We went back to the Jewish quarter for dinner again. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity, it was just way too nice for us to have kosher options again.

Pont D'arc is stunning! It's a beautiful natural arc that was formed as the river grew. It started off as a rock wall and then slowly as time went on the river wore away at the rock and formed a magnificent arc that you can go look at. There's kayaking and water sports that people do on the river. There are also some natural hikes around. Luckily for us we were there right after tourist season so it wasn't too busy and we were able to hike to one of the areas that is basically right under the arc. After that we drove to Pont Du Gard which is a Roman built aqueduct bridge. It is crazy that they made this thing without any machinery! We actually went down to the beach that's underneath the aqueduct and went into the water. It was absolutely freezing but the water was crystal clear! Unlike the earlier beach, this beach was actually a rock beach so it was really hard to walk around with all those rocks under our toesss! Until Next Time... ...

Charmonix

Although our trip to Charmonix was unplanned, it was one of our favorite parts of France. It is absolutely freezing at night so staying in the van was out of the question. We had to splurge and spend a few nights indoors. “Words can’t even describe our time in Charmonix” - Yehuda. Our first day there we went up Mont Blanc. The mountains all around were huge with their tallest peaks covered in snow! We knew this was going to be a really special experience. On the cable car we took there were two stops - one halfway up the mountain and the other to the tippy top. We decided to go all the way up first. Our trip up was terrifying - we were going so high and the village below kept getting smaller. At one point we started swinging and there was a collective “ahhhhh” as we all freaked out together. Thank god we went in the same car as a church group who was praising god the whole way up. When we got to the top it was breathtaking, not only because of how absolutely freezing it was, but becaus...

Oh Kathmandu

Our driver DK was amazing! He kept us entertained all day long and was great company. The first place he took us to was Budhanath Temple. It was a round temple with lots of different things to spin all around it. There were some shops in the area and we got a really good lesson on the different types of gurus and manifestations that are part of the culture. After that, we headed over to Pashupatinath which is an area in Nepal where you can view a cremation. They have two possibilities, one is a public burning and one is inside and is electric. Dk told is it wasn't worth it for us to spend money on an entrance fee so he took us to a road where we were able to see them decorating a body for the electric cremation. Our next stop for the day was Durbar Square in Bhaktapur. It was a very cute little area with some nice restaurants, shops and lots of interesting buildings. Many of the buildings were destroyed during the earthquake and you can see how hard they're working on restorat...
