April '08 - Paris

Cynthia had to go to Paris for a "Principal Investigator's meeting" (for SciClone's clinical trial investigating a very exciting new drug for pancreatic cancer ... Cyn is the Chief Scientific Officer at SciClone). SO, we took a few extra days and made it into a lovely romantic adventure!
