... from a friend visiting Paris for a week. I have to admit it made me miss life in big city for a while seeing images of the gorgeous city architecture and loads of of "food porn".
Then the afternoon came, and I went to the coastal area in walking distance from where I now live and had 15km (about 10miles) of views just like this. Didn't take long to remember how much I missed having all of this nearby, as well as the clean air and free/open space during my time in the polluted and overcrowded capital.
A good reminder that there are always trade-offs and no places that simply have it all. You get some, you lose some. So better enjoy what you've got!
