First up - another bike ride around the city. This time to a wonderful park in the northeast - and I won't say the name - or post any pictures - because I forgot my camera!!!! ARGGGH!!!! Anyway, I will be back to this park and report with pictures in hand.
In any event, I quiet evening at home after my bike ride - although I did sneak off to Ile St. Louis for some ice cream - I fear that it will beckon every night - and that I will succumb to my i/c addiction (it does run in the family!!)
Today, Monday Sept 27, a wondeful day in Paris - high of 25 and sunny and gorgeous. I had another long bike ride - I must have covered about 20 miles or so. Another visit to the department stores, Printemps and Lafayette - without success! It just amazes me that even at 11 am, there are countless lineups - yes, I said lineups - at the little boutiques in these stores, for Prada, Louis Vuitton, Longchamps, etc. Seems to be mostly visitors from the Asian countries.
After, I was on my fruitless journey to the BMW dealers of Paris to see if they had a model of my beloved M3 - alas, they did not! Turns out that some guy on eBay has it for sale so that will probably be my next move - perhaps my birthday wish for next month. If nothing else, the exercise was good.
It was really informative - and made a great addition to our time in Normandy in early September. Here is a brass eagle of the Third Reich which was part of the exhibit.
Another quiet evening at home - relaxing from my day. I am off for my second cooking class tomorrow - so should be well fed with wonderful French food after that.
Just in case you are missing pictures of all those marvelous Parisien scenes, here is a picture of the Eiffel Tower shot some days ago in "nostalgia" mode. Very fitting I think.
