Lunchtime Photo

Published on 41 Comments on Lunchtime Photo

We're on vacation again! This is our first big vacation in five years thanks to this and that and, of course, COVID-19. But everything has gone swimmingly so far on this one. The flight was on time; our driver met us punctually at the airport; the weather is good (a little warm for me, but fine for most people); and we are happily ensconced in our little room. And, obviously, fully connected to the internet.

Needless to say, my sister is house sitting and reports that the cats adore her already. She is trying to get used to working with Hilbert sprawled across the desk.

But where are we?

      Stockholm is called the Venice of the North, it's full of rivers. But I was thinking Paris myself despite the boat with the Swedish colors. Googling it's 55 and raining in Stockholm but 71 and sunny in Paris.

    I suppose the other place they would paint a ship’s funnel blue and yellow is Ukraine. But (a) Ukraine uses a lighter blue and (b) it seems like a bad time to vacation in Odessa.

    Paris.

    I just returned from a 3 day business trip from there.

    Hint: ratp logo on train plus a very small bit of the Eifel tower.

    Okay, I cheated. The boat in the foreground has a nameplate. Adjusting the brightness by a logarithmic brightness tweak reveals the name "Clipaiplli Paris".

    So it is Paris.

    Take the Batobus is you haven't already, it's great. (for all I know your picture may be from the Batobus)

    The other Paris secret? Get the Museum pass. Available in 2 day, 4 day or 6 day versions, it works at over 50 museums and monuments. Best of all it lets you jump the que.
