Britt-Arnhild and her husband Terje and daughter Marta on a bright sunny day in Paris, with Notre Dame in the background.
One of the advantages to living in a popular city like Paris is that sooner or later, practically everyone you ever knew or wanted to know comes to town. On Thursday, it was my pleasure to meet blogging friend Britt-Arnhild of Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods, her husband Terje and daughter Marta, visiting from Norway.
Britt-Arnhild and I have been reading each other's blogs for nearly five years, so it was good to finally meet in person. We had a lovely lunch and a long stroll around Ile Saint-Louis and environs, which passed all too quickly. It is hoped we'll see each other next in Norway.
The happy couple. Alas, I had only a little pocket camera with me, so too much shadow in the photos.

Hello Tara .. I think it is wonderful that you got to meet Britt-arnhild and her family ... and in Paris . That is where I met my first blogger friends, face to face, two friends that I met had come over from Australia, and in fact ,they are moving to England soon.
Since april 2009 , I have returned to Paris 4 times, and am meeting more people each trip. Also what is great , that I now can meet up with anyone of them ..or altogether :-)

Yes, I too, read Britt's blog every day.
Marta is stunning for someone still so young.

This was fun to see both your and Britt-Arnhild's posts on Paris, then hers on Syria. Blogging certainly transports you around the world, whether literally or virtually. If you fancy some more travel, come over and see my post on Shanghai!

How wonderful! I also read Britt-Arnhild's blog and have enjoyed it for quite awhile. You were walking in one of my favorite neighborhoods. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
