Cute little street in the 20th.

I have actually been out and about a lot lately, exploring parts of the city I

have never been before. I've been catching the bus which has been great for my

sense of direction, I've been preparing my wardrobe for warmer times with

frequent trips to Guerrisol, I've been seeing my lady friends at various spots

around the city, and I've been checking out the coffee at places other than the Cafeotheque.

(shocking, i know.)

Luke and I have spent the last 3 Friday's ticking things off our list - Lunch at Le

Marche des Enfants rouge, a cute little food market in the centre of town, a walk

around the Buttes-Chaumont, a stroll around Pere Lachaise, brunching at the

delightful Eggs & Co and just generally trying out hardest to be authentic

Parisians. In doing so, I have felt that Paris has become even more Paris-y. I am

noticing the little things that people associate with Paris, that I hadn't really

noticed very much. These things are hard to pinpoint, and even harder to

photograph. A guy on a Vespa with a Louis Vuitton bag, couples making out in

public places, models getting off the metro at the Jardin des Tuileries (it is

fashion week after all), the sun shining on the fountains, people enjoying long 3

course lunches...

Here is a little snapshot of the last few weeks to make up for my vagueness.

Luke has been reluctant to take his camera places because he has been riding his

bike. Without decent photos, I am reluctant to share much. I realised that maybe

people don't care too much about the quality of the photos, they just want to

know what we have been up to!

So here we go... ENJOY!

Judging the Frog Fight for the last 2 months. This decision led to Luke losing the semi.
It was my fault!! As you can see by my face, I was traumatized.

Coffee lovers.
