Yesterday, when I woke up for my tutoring job, it was drizzly. Within five minutes of being outside, it was raining sideways, and I still had a ten minute walk to get to the metro line I needed. By the time I got to tutoring, I was the Wet Pet Dr. Suess talks about. The weather today could not have been more different, so I took a break from taking breaks from my presentations in the apartment, and went for a walk.
The street performers were on fire, today. On the bridge between the Île Saint Louis and the Île de la Cité there was a troupe of roller-bladers.
This guy had a big vase of goldfish swimming around on this his head! While he juggled!
(and made this face, pretty much the whole time)
and danced with unsuspecting passers-by
My walking buddy: a big latté to-go (not from a Starbucks)! From a tiny coffee shop on Rue de Mouffetard. When I say tiny, I mean one man and his Nespresso in a space smaller than my apartment. I'll be back.
The Parisians have returned to the banks of the Seine
A stuffed raccoon in a shop window (it had nothing to do with what the shop was actually selling)
And I'll bet that, just like the children in "The Cat in the Hat" who were very bored at home one very rainy day, they were delighted to see you :)
