Goal #5 Accomplished

This goal may seem a bit silly in relation to my other goals but this has truly been a dream of mine. I have always wanted to eat French macarons at the place where they originated: Laduree. Laduree is a French Pastry store that originated the French macaron that is popularly eaten around the world. Not to be confused with the American coconut macaroons, French macarons are two delicate pastry shells combined with a delicious ganache. They are very difficult to find in Vancouver but very well made. After eating a Laduree macaron, I have to say they were amazing and the vanilla ones are to die for.

Goal #4 Accomplished

I have accomplished Goal #4!! This was: Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. In 2006 I visited the Eiffel Tower with a friend. She was too terrified to climb to the top and ever since I have regretted only climbing to the second floor of what was once the tallest manmade structures in the world. Keeping in line with the attitude of this blog, I Lived It Out and got to the top, surpassing the second floor and enjoying the view!
