Today will be my tour-de-Paris day.

Paris is a wrap.
2005-07-01, Paris, France. By: len_doug

Our last day in Paris was tinged with irony: On a day that saw temperatures range from the high 50s to the mid-70s, about 20 degrees cooler than earlier in the week, we shipped our cool-weather cloth...

I've arrived!
2005-06-30, Paris, France. By: daniparis

Here I am in Paris, yes I did it!!!! I survived my 10 hour flight and my delayed layover in Frankfort. I also survived my crazy cab driver from the airport, but when I caught my first glimpse of the...

Coming to grips with the cool-weather clothes – plus another Club meeting and another rain.
2005-06-30, Paris, France. By: len_doug

As noted earlier, we over-packed sweaters and other cool-weather clothes, so we are mailing four boxes of unnecessary clothes back to Hawaii. We plan to take the Metro all the way up to Gare l’Est ea...

On our anniversary, we go from a train station to the end of the line.
2005-06-29, Paris, France. By: len_doug

Not many photographs accompany this day’s journal. Anniversaries are meant for pursuits other than peering through a camera lens. Suffice to say we had a long Metro ride to the train station to upgr...

We gain some elevation, but the temperature rises, too.
2005-06-28, Paris, France. By: len_doug

We are not making this heat-wave business up. From the June 28th edition of The International Herald Tribune: “…health officials in central and southern Europe rushed Monday to put in place emerge...

Why seasoned travelers recommend avoiding Paris in the summer.
2005-06-27, Paris, France. By: len_doug

This was the day we visited the place from which all distances were once measured in France – Notre Dame cathedral. In other words, this was the center of the universe back in the day. So why did it...

A Sunday spent the way Sundays are meant to be spent.
2005-06-26, Paris, France. By: len_doug

Chalk up another one for flexibility – necessitated by a thunderstorm that drifted by in late morning. Just as we were preparing to head across town on the Metro to Notre Dame, the lightning and thun...

The French do in fact wear shorts
2005-06-26, Paris, France. By: haytonsj

We have had a lovely long weekend in Paris over the last 4 days. However, we have also been caught in not one but two torrential rain storms (one of which I am hiding out from right now while Scott ma...

A modified “plan” produces the best day yet.
2005-06-25, Paris, France. By: len_doug

The “plan” was to have included an early out-the-door to sightsee before noon, but we scrapped the plan as the morning wore on and concluded that the best plan is no plan at all. Ten o’clock seemed e...

Paris shows off some of its truly hot spots.
2005-06-24, Paris, France. By: len_doug

Yesterday’s prediction of a sunny today – based on the mariner’s ditty that a red sky at night bodes well for sailors – was right on the money, from first light to late afternoon as this is written. T...

A rendezvous with other English-speakers, plus a Parisian delugé.
2005-06-23, Paris, France. By: len_doug

As noted earlier, we packed for cool weather, but the temperature has been between 85 and 90+ since we arrived. So instead of buying some cheese and wine with the euros in our pockets today, we shell...

Priority One is to buy a new camera, then to see Paris.
2005-06-22, Paris, France. By: len_doug

The loss of our digital camera had softened by this morning, aided by Lennie’s cheery observation that the old digital camera was just that – old. Ancient, even, purchased in December 2002, with “mov...

Our Digital Camera – Gone!
2005-06-21, Paris, France. By: len_doug

Are you getting the idea that there’s way too much drama in this journal? We were wrong about not encountering any more locked-in-the-laundry-type problems. For pure woefulness, try having your digi...
