Mary Carter Uses a Lighthouse to Illuminate a Relationship

Please welcome Mary Carter to my blog today, for a brief reprieve from travel related blogging. But the travel tales haven’t stopped. In fact, we’re just about to get to the good part: the wedding!

I decided we should do a breakfast Buffet in Paris and as you all know to get to Paris...
