Mardi

Today, we worked hard at doing just about nothing. We’ve been going since last Wednesday and were ready for a break. We walked around le quartier, faire le course, lunch in the apartment and read books, literally, in the shadow of La Tour Eiffel.

During our trips to Paris, Claire and I have noticed the changing trends of the popular dog breeds. At one time, we saw lots of Jack Russell Terriers. Then it was the French Bulldog. On this trip, we have not seen a single Jack Russell or Frenchy. It is obviously the year of Le Chihuahua!

Dinner, at Le P’tit Troquet, was great. It’s always great.

The last picture, today, needs a bit of clarification. This team’s job is to clean bird poop off of the benches in Champs des Mars.

And if you think you have a crappy job...
