El gran “sacrificio” que tuve que hacer para ir a mi concierto la semana pasada fue pasar un día entero en París. Y gran coincidencia de la vida, mi adorable cuñada estaba de visita, con su hermana y su madre. Excelente oportunidad para encontrarlas, ponernos al día y dar una visita por la ciudad. Como ellas ya son turistas profesionales que han recorrido varias ciudades en Europa en las últimas semanas encontraron esta página de una asociación que ofrece visitas guiadas gratuitas en varias ciudades. Hicimos la nuestra con una guía muy simpática que nos explicó en español la historia de los principales monumentos, así como anécdotas muy divertidas de los lugares que vimos. La visita duró cuatro horas y al final se da como propina lo que uno considere conveniente y debo decir que quedé muy satisfecha con todo. Sobre todo porque al final nos llevaron a conocer un restaurante muy bueno y muy barato, una combinación muy rara de encontrar para nosotros pasajeros temporales que no tenemos tiempo de conocer más a fondo la ciudad.
París nos recibió con nubes y algo de viento, que comparado a la nieve y al frío de diciembre del año pasado, esta vez se sintió como un cálido verano. Y como pude estar más en el exterior me gustó mucho más esta vez que vine, pero como siempre, me voy con la sensación que tengo que regresar, que me queda mucho por conocer. 
The great “sacrifice” I had to do in order to go to my concert last week was spend a whole day in Paris. And what a coincidence, my lovely sister in law was in town, with her sister and her mother. An excellent opportunity to meet them, catch up and visit the town. Since they are already professional tourists that have toured many cities across Europe in the last weeks they found this site about an association that offers free guided visits in many towns. We made our tour with a very nice girl who explained to us, in Spanish, the history behind many of the main monuments, as well as funny anecdotes about them. The visit lasted about four hours and in the end you just have to tip as much as you want and I must say I was very satisfied with everything. Especially with the fact that in the end they took us to a very good and cheap restaurant, a combination not easy to find for us temporary passengers that have no time to get to know the city very well.

Paris received us with some clouds and some wind that, compared to the cold and snow last December, felt like a warm summer. And since I got to be more outside, I enjoyed this time even more, but as always, I leave with the feeling that I have to go back later on, that I still have so much to visit.
