Part way through our trip to England, we went to Paris for a day. I will tell you all about that day in a future post {England Trip ~ Day 6}, but for today I'm sharing a bit about the strawberry we left at the Eiffel Tower for my mom.
{You can read about our Strawberry Project here.}
My mom and step-dad traveled to Paris years ago {maybe 10?} and she was so thrilled to have been there. There's a photo of her {wish I had it for this post!} standing with the Eiffel Tower behind her, and in her scrapbook she wrote: "Who would have ever thought that John R's daughter would be standing at the Eiffel Tower?"
And there we were, at the Eiffel Tower and Carrie said it: "Who would have ever thought that Marti R's daughter and grand-daughter would be standing at the Eiffel Tower?"
We left this strawberry hanging from a shrubbery at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
My mom would be so pleased!

Now there will always be a part of Marti in Paris! What a lovely post and what an appropriate place to leave one of those lovely strawberries.
perfect strawberry placement
A perfect place for the strawberry,Deb.
whoever would have thought visitors to the eiffel tower would see a strawberry lovingly hung on a bush?!
I loved leaving a strawberry here!
And my favorite part of this whole post is that you used the world "shrubbery." :)

I love these sweet tributes to your mom. They say you leave a bit of your heart behind when you leave Paris. You left a little bit of love instead.
So many sweet strawberry posts loving them all xxx
Brilliant! I hope the strawberry found a great home and made someone very happy.
Marti's legacy spreading round the world...
So pleased you were able to find a spot to leave one in Paris xx
Indeed, she would, and what a wonderful opportunity for you and Carrie.
I love these strawberry posts and the sweet stories and memories that come with them.
Such a lovely post and story - and definitely one for your album. The echoes send a shiver down my spine :).
I think your Mum would love that you left a strawberry there - very appropriate :) xx
What a great moment on a great day that must have been. Awesome!
I would have just started bawling my eyes out when Carrie said that. . . such a touching story. You two rock!
