It is a noisy, mad, chaotic, and wonderful city.
Surprisingly no mopeds or scooters in this picture.

It's nice to have some sun after the storm this weekend.

Jealous. I've had many happy times there. Enjoy!

I did get a lovely history book from the shop a few years ago.

I have not been for a few years, but it's the one place we visit every time in Paris.

Shakespeare & Co is a wonderful bookshop in Paris, too.

Yes. I actually have been in (usually outside) The Ramblers Inn at the other end of Edale more often.

It's a bit grim today with Storm Amy. So, looking back two years today - watching the boats sail by from Agistri Island #Greece #Scape
