Because it's There

Someone once asked the silly question, of Edmond Hillary, "Why do you climb mountains?" . . . The answer, as you all know is, "Because it's There!"  . . . It is the same with Paris. It is here and we must go. As you all know this is our 5th or 6th visit (and probably not our last). Still we find every day a complete joy, regardless of what we do. Today we slept late, ate some Poilane toast for breakfast and then hoofed it around the old neighborhood (Marais) (No Pictures). A few hours later we stopped in a delightful little park for some people watching time and then on to the Jewish quarter to check in on the relatives, followed by a few beers before a leisurely stroll back to the apartment. Sorry about the scarcity of pictures. I promise it'll get better. Until then you'll have to get by with the written word.  The walk home, down rue Bretagne, included stops at no less than 6 shops to buy dinner. One for Chocolate and macaroons, One for a bottle of wine, One for a rotisserie chicken, One for veggies and a melon, One for a round of Goat Cheese, and one for the daily baguette. If you're so inclined (We're not) you can buy all of this at one store, but that takes all of the fun out of it. Unless interrupted by some unforeseen event we'll do this every day. We've already seen all of the "Must Sees" so we are now free to just "Be in Paris." As Paula said, "I can't think of a better way to spend a day."
