I See London, I See France….

By Melanie Reim in London, UK and Paris, France

Back in September, I posted about my whirlwind trip to Oxford. Following the conference, I spent a day in London and then, off I went to spend a few days in France. Oh, it was amazing and heavenly, and full of cafés and museums and shopping and wine and I wish that I were back there right now. But, I am thankful that I had the rare opportunity to go, to speak about work that I love, and was able to document some of it. Happy Thanksgiving, my American friends.

When I arrived to my hotel, my room was not yet ready. Where to go? As I set out, headed for nowhere in particular, I looked back and realized that my best drawing opportunity 

was right in front of me. My London hotel.

Now, I was inspired to try to capture even more detail, in my jumbled, pile on way of doing things. 

St. Paul’s Cathedral called.

Onto Paris, where I met my drawing buddy Jean Christophe for the first time, 

and draw the afternoon away, we did. And then, I kept going. 

 Have to end with my post-it peeps. Paris style.
