Two years ago my hubby and I placed a love lock on the bridge in Paris but not before a big debarkle, of where the RED LOVE LOCK bought in Germany for this purpose, had disappeared ?
Yes, we had stumbled upon a street kiosk which sold these love Locks to the travelers to put on any bridge they found desirable along their journey. We bought it for a whopping $15 and then decided to wait till Paris and Lock it on the famous bridge.
After arriving in Paris, the day of our walk around Notre Dame and the Louvre, we searched and searched for this already bought Love lock. Nowhere!
Nowhere to be found!
Can you believe my surprise when I found it today . . . . 2 years later . . . . In a silly little camera cover bag I was about to toss out because it belongs to the camera that was stolen last year.
Love is not lost, and now I will have to find somewhere to Lock our Love in SA or else visit Paris again.
I know what I would like . . . A girl can dream can't she?

Try to use the lock in South Africa Lany, in Paris they have been removed one year ago because they were causing great damages. The total weight of the removed locks were 45 Tons!!! You can imagine the great problems they have caused. In Italy they did the same in Rome.

You can also put your love locks here in the Redemptorist Church here in the Philippines. :)

So precious! At least the newly found lock brought back some nice memories. .

Another trip to Paris would be good. It never hurts to dream.
