Our apartment in Paris: yep, we really can see Notre Dame from the living room. Sister Beth is the Queen of selfie takers
Hello from Paris, where we just turned back the clocks. I do not mind getting an extra hour in this City of Lights, even if it does mean that the evenings will be darker earlier. BTW, did you get the memo? The NFL is holding a Saints vs Steelers game here later today. Football fans are everywhere.
You all have probably heard about the Paris "unrest", especially what went down on October 17th. Where we are, there's protest signage, and lots of armed security. No fires and no further violent protests either. Apparently that violent energy is now in Italy!
In keeping with pictures-tell-you-tons, please enjoy these.
We have a vacation rental that does not disappoint.
I mentioned that the NFL is here. They brought Famous People, too. Anybody recognize this lovely fellow? Hint: he used to play wide receiver for the Saints. Now he works as their team Ambassador.
Le Croque: an epic cheese and ham sandwich, served piping hot with salad and fries. My sister is now a fan.
Folks have been very, very nice. Our server was originally from Haiti. Check out the chalkboard menu on the left. They're all still taught French cursive. And still write daily specials/prices for patrons.
Pure coincidence, I swear, that our apartment is on the street that's Comic Book Central. Yes, I got the tee shirt. Also French comic version of fidget toys, a super cool Tin Tin outer-space shopping sack, and a French Tank Girl comic. You who know me well, know I'm in paradise.
I'll be back next Sunday with "Show Up" suggestions. For now, keep in mind that we are many, they are few, we can have the world we want. Just show up.
