I felt a little bad for making my Rome "Where am I" picture so hard, so I decided to make yesterday's a little easier. The fragment in the top right of the picture is indeed the Eiffel Tower. Here's a better picture:
This was taken from Pont Mirabeau while I was puttering around at night after dinner. On Saturday we begin our cruise down the Seine to Normandy on the Viking Skaga. When we return, we'll spend a couple of weeks in an Airbnb rental and then head home.
So far everything has been great. Not a single hiccup. Keep your fingers crossed.
Post pictures of spectacular cheese trolleys!
Nice being out of the country, but you may want to read this before posting more images of the Eiffel Tower at night.

La tour de Mickey Mouse en quelque sorte.
Just make sure you wear your mask as much as possible. I just got back from a VIking river trip in Belgium and the Netherlands. Around 10 people wound up quarantined in a hotel after testing positive for covid which is definitely not fun.
Do they do the daily spit tests on the river cruises too these days?
Well, you seemed to be living on Paris time in CA...
Wouldn't you be going up the Seine to get to Normandy?
Is that a little Statue of Liberty (La Liberté éclairant le monde) in front of it? Or is it full size?
I believe there are a couple of little ones in Paris.
I've always wanted to visit Hungary, sigh. The home of so much culture and intellectual development at the turn of the last century.
But Paris is good too I've always wanted to do the Groethendiecke tour. Or maybe the Aristocats 🙂
While you're there try to find that vampire theater where they actually drink somebody's blood on stage and no one knows it's for real.
Ou est les photos des chats?
Yeah! This IS Friday, isn't it?
Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Mirabeau bridge, bittersweet….
May I suggest a visit to the Musee de Plans et Reliefs in Les Invalides if you've never been. It's a collection of giant relief maps and models originally build to show French kings how the latest siege of Strasbourg was going and so on. Really wacky.
And this little place not too far away is a great place to tuck into some classic French bistro cooking: https://www.fontaine-de-mars.com/
I recommend L'Os a Moelle in the 15th for some good bistro food.
Be sure to see. the Cartier Bresson museum in Montparnasse..
