From a week of wandering Paris

A store:  "The bazaar for women.  Men forbidden..."

The ever present Eiffel Tower.  This view from Trocadero, at the Tokyo Palace (where the city of Paris modern arts museum is)

As I'd mentioned previously, we didn't have a Christmas tree this year.  Here's where we kept our stockings...

As with the Eiffel Tower, the ever beautiful Notre Dame...

A small portion of the crowds looking to get into the Louvre on the day I had my bright idea that I'd be the only one there...

I've written several times about the poverty in Paris...  This is a man sleeping on a grate.  It was cold enough that day that my thighs felt it through my jeans...

Earlier in this blog there's a similar picture --- except in that version people are wearing T-shirts...
