1 - After walking several blocks before having the perfect coffee and croissant, we happened upon one of Paris' great open air markets. This photo of a mushroom stand is especially for Owen who raises mushrooms near us in NY.2 - The Place des Vosges - the oldest square & most think it the most beautiful square in all of Paris. We're not arguing.
3 - This store carries "Original Chicken Clothes" - your guess is as good as ours. They were closed so we couldn't explore further.
4 - The Carnavalet Museum recommended by friends of Judy & John. It covers the history of Paris from 1500-1900. Very impressive especially since Judy & I lost the guys in just under 15 minutes. It has a ton of rooms.
5 - This is the ceiling of Bofingers where we met our friends Marilyn & Jim for lunch today. Another impressive sight as, apparently were the urinals that have been in use since 1919. A photo shot by me was not allowed...
6. - One of the bridges across the Seine where entrepreneurs have set up massage stations for hurting tourists.
7 - More entrepreneurs - this time a symphony in the subway. They were really good too and sounded wonderful in the underground - better acoustics than some theaters.
8 - The Arc de Triomphe Napoleon built and which Judy & John can now add to their "I've seen that" list. 12 boulevards (that means BIG streets) merge into a traffic circle around it. How any of the drivers survive is miracle!
9 - Our friends Marilyn & Jim with their poodles (French, of course) Zehper & Zazoom. We're sooooo lucky and it's sooooo much fun to have nice friends in far away places.
Speaking of far away places, I understand birds were being spooked all along the roads leading into and out of Kenmare, ND by a streak of red....
