What can we say? Paris is as beautiful as ever, if a little busier.
We made ourselves stay up last night (well to 7pm anyway) to try and beat the jet lag but all succumbed eventually. Dira was awake at 2am having cups of tea with Megan while I slept.
Today we went to the marche de rouge enfant (markets of the red children) to buy fresh food for dinner and beautiful pink hydrangas for our apartment. oh salad! Megan and I then went for a long walk on the Left Bank in search of places where the likes of Oscar Wild and others hung out. Came back through Luxemburg Gardens watching half of Paris enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon. But no one is allowed on the grass so chairs are valuable commodities here. Tennis, pony rides, big band jazz and lots of couples smooching is the order of the day here. Oh and don't leave out the small boys with long sticks steering their rented antique sail boats in the Grand Basin! Tres bien!
Dira went walking to Places de Vogues and in search of French onion soup which She found in a square near Pompedieu. Again tres bien!
