It's been a year since we haven't seen each other... Life runs so fast... We collect the moments of our beautiful meetings on this Earth, given to us by the Lord...

After we last saw each other a year ago in Kemer with my son, when he came for two days from Poland, he returned to Ukraine... Business and volunteering in wartime occupied all of my son's time. He could not leave Ukraine and only now had the opportunity to go to Paris for a few days for a conference.
My Darinka always dreamed of seeing the Eiffel Tower. So dreams come true again. And I will see my dear son!
And here we are sitting on the plane and I feel the adrenaline before the flight. Darinka is not afraid. And I always pray hard because I feel insecure on the plane.
We rose above the sea of ​​Antalya, the beautiful mountains became small! It looked like a beautiful fairyland!

And now we were already flying above the clouds, which looked like an incredibly exciting white sea! It is like another amazing space that amazes with its beauty!
Here on the plane we can feel the value of water with you! For a bottle of 0.33 ml, I had to pay 2 euros, or 65 TL!
In Turkey such water 0.5 ml costs 8 TL. And I always said: it's too expensive :)

I like to observe how the land types of different countries change from a height of flight. Here you see now French land, Which looks like a carpet sewn from colorful pieces of fabric.

Finally we landed and my girls made a fun game, they sat on the escalator where the suitcases go. Such beautiful luggage went with the suitcases :)

And here we are again in the exciting New Country about which we have heard so much, whose language is absolutely incomprehensible and difficult, and whose songs are beautiful and exciting!
We took the train and then the subway to the street where our airbnb apartment was located.
Our settlement was delayed for two hours and we found a cozy bar "Avto", to warm up and drink tea, as the streets of France were cold enough after warm Turkey.
My Victoria was very angry because she was very cold. But I made her smile, It looks fun :)
The tea that costs 4.5 euros also reminded us of a good Turkish tea for 0.5 euros in the most expensive tourist cafes :)
Life in Europe is too expensive for us!

European exclusive charm was felt here. This cafe had its own bright face. There was a sports car on the ceiling.
When we went down to the toilet, there was a very interesting area in red. A wheel as a toilet paper holder 😊

And now the long-awaited moment has finally arrived! I hugged my son, whom I had not seen for a whole year, and my daughters saw their brother! We spent the evening in a cozy apartment in Paris, which had beautiful panoramic windows and warmed us with its warmth on a cold rainy day.

Imagine how delicious mom's coffee was for my son, and how long our conversations were! After not seeing each other for so long, we had a lot to tell each other.

By the way, I finally fully understood why balconies are called French balconies. Because it is in Paris that these fake small balconies are on all the houses! It is the balconies, on which it is impossible to sit, but only to stand, and are a unique touch of Parisian architecture.

I have meet you first time through your post but for old friend this will be second one according to your post. I have just heard about some matters about Paris but through your post I have views those moments. Views among the clouds and above the clouds is appreciate able and specially colorfull land view from the top really Heart touching. And credit goes to you.
Other post in which there is a cute girl shows the luxury lifestyle and proper mechanism like following rules and regulations.
In the last I was thinking that there is iron container on the ship. But the view is totally different. There is apartment on the ground. A nice one. I appreciate your quality and heart touching effort.

The lands of France look really beautiful. The cafe with the cars attracted your attention very much. The historical buildings are wonderful, I loved it, thank you for writing so beautifully. It gives me pleasure to visit your page @olga.maslievich. 🫶

You noticed all the interesting details in my post. Of course, the design of the cafe is of great importance for pleasure and relaxation. I'm glad you liked it, @dewamke44

yes I liked it very much. I hope you had a nice time with your son. You are truly a wonderful mother 🙏💐

Lots to learn and a family reunion package. Your posy is filled with so much love, and you did train your kids well. Your son is an admirable person, and I am glad you all got to meet at last.

The pictures look great, and you and your daughters are so beautiful 😍.

What a beautiful experience! to see your son again, for your daughter to see the Eiffel tower and to be able to spend 3 days getting to know a new country, your photos are beautiful, my favorite was the one of the balconies, it is one of the things that catches my attention when I travel. I'll stay tuned to read more.

I didn't know that you had a son. By the way, I shared a new post, perhaps you wanna visit when in Turkiye 😉

Now you know even more about me 😊
I will definitely read it. Thanks for sharing!

Turkey is really a very beautiful, multifaceted and large country. I've lived here for almost two years, but I've seen very little.

It is a very good thing that you travel around the world, one gets to learn a lot in this way and when one goes to a new place, one is very happy to see things. Everyone is drinking coffee.

During the last two years I visited four famous capitals: Budapest, Athens, Rome, and now Paris! I am incredibly happy to share my impressions with you!

I can imagine that it is hard for a mother to not see her son for so long but under those circumstances it must be terrible and heartbreaking..
I am really glad that you could get to hug him tightly last weekend and that you had a good time in Paris!

I understand the feeling of fear that people usually have on plane. It is normal and I must say that you are not the only one. Anyway, it was nice seeing your son again after a year.
I’m glad it happened

I am so glad upon reading that you got a chance to reunite with your son!

And I know you all had a great day!

What a beautiful trip with your daughters to meet your son. I imagine how much you must have enjoyed and questioned him. The important thing was that you were happy and visited a beautiful country.

Very beautiful picture hope you are enjoying

Thank you for your visit 😊

Неймовірна подорож, Оленько! А хмари під літаком - щось фантастичне!)))
Мені здається, що вікна до підлоги не дуже зручно!))) Хоча, схоже, тобі це заважає?!))) Щоправда, там видно ролети...)))

Відчуття польоту над хмарами - це неймовірне щастя! Ми любимо великі панорамні вікна :)

I hugged my son, whom I had not seen for a whole year

Awww! I can only imagine right! I am so glad you could see your son after so many years. And the girls definitely. You all look great

Yes, our joy was boundless! Thank you for reading my blog!

You are exploring the world. Precisely you are at dream destinations. The world is open book and you are reading it's pages so beautifully. I also have this pressing to visit France. These Parisian architecture are really beautiful and heart captivating.

it is so good for you to see your son again and your girls their brother, even though the weather was unkind I guess that would not have spoilt such a wonderful occasion.\

I have to say you three are such fashionistas, and have fantastic fashion sense, style icons!

Oh, thank you for such a lavish compliment 🙏🏻
In fact, we haven't bought new clothes in a long time and my girls are a little sad, but life on the road needs minimalism.

Yes I guess so, you all always look so immaculate though, love it

👍 ❤️ Upvoted ❤️ 👍
