Paris wedgy

Looking down at the world of Paris from the Montparnasse tower at all the boulevards fanning outwards is great for getting bearings. I had no idea where I was in Paris until I could look down on its beautiful wedges!

We saw where we had been in Rodin's garden the day before.

Metro day today across Paris to find some clothes to wear to Bech's sister Mahi's place for dinner ... metro line number 2.  How wonderful to meet Mahi and her gorgeous girls! Such a happy family night!

On jeudi 28 Octobre Quai Bronly ... masques, wonderful settings and light in the yellow-leafed tree enchanted me. I've been here before, and it's such a treat to come again! Especially to eat the polenta I had for lunch!

On a boat trip up and down the Seine I found peacefulness just sitting and looking. Ahhh relaxation! Sometimes its great to stop. I remembered the day at Sarlat when we had to wait for four hours for the bus and all we could do was sit in the sun and read ... ah bliss!

Today (friday 29 october) we had a bike ride along the canal San Martin. Riding in Paris is really great. Wonderful networks of bike paths! We stopped for a coffee along the way in a nice corner cafe with a happy labrador inside who smiled and wagged his tail, but didn't get up.

Then we had an 'interesting experience' visiting per la chaise cimitiere. A spooky suburb of the dead ... all up a hill and quite a little creepy in the autumn light. Trees shedding their leaves with shivers of goulishness.
It was very respectful, quiet and still being there. Thankfully not a tourist experience.

We rode home via rue de Mouffetard to check on the cheese situation for Tuesday's journey into Africa.  Yes, the cheese was there! So was some lovely bike rider's beer to wet the whistle.

Home again home again jiggity jig to lie on the bed and say ahhhhhhh! Another amazing day in Paris!
