Yesterday by 6:30 pm 

Walking along the Seine

No jet lag to speak of here but too relaxed post-Maine to knuckle down to present matters.. Mind you I have been to see; KLIMT: ATELIER DES LUMIERES, CARRAVAGIO INROME, RELAIS DESSERTS and EBLOUISSANTE VENISE. Reports to come soon I promise. Meanwhile I'm still WALKING DAILY, mostly along the Seine.

And what a revelation it is to see Notre Dame in morning light.

I recommend to all Paris visitors.

Its not crowded

You can walk under so many bridges, all different in design. There are 36 bridges/ponts. I've walked under 5 so far...

Are these trawlers? They bring jam and butter to Paris. They were much missed when the Seine was high in March.

Morning light is stunning. But morning doesn't begin until 7:05am these days. I'm not one to walk in pitch dark.

American painter EDWARD HOPPER may have walked the same path while living in Paris for 2 years. He said it took him 10 years to get over Europe once back in Greenwich village.

This Hopper view is on the other side of the Seine

I've been told my Arcopedico shoes are not good for proper walking. All suggestions are welcome. My feet are not a pretty sight...wide and bumpy. I have absolutely no problem finding a proper breakfast post-promenade. Walking is a wonderful way, maybe the best way to see Paris. Come join me!
