Plus out-takes

Sellin' baguettes, hand over fist, near the Marche d'Aligre; they were all gone
a few minutes later

A foosball game--as we Americaines might call it--in a public park in Saint-Antoine,
one of two; not vandalized
Lady on stilts at Marche d'Aligre




















Closer up




















Kid-shaped hamburger patties




















Cafe Purple...somewhere in the 11th


Le mort d'un pigeon, episode trois; la mort de pigeons!; OK, it's a running gag;
sort of















Gendarmes gearing up near the Bastille; turns out they were probably an escort for
QE2, who was in town















Another secluded alley in Saint Antoine
















This in an alley leading to a warehouse, in the10th





















Clean-up after a neighborhood market















Adjacent to the Bibliotheque Nationale















By the Metro at Denfert Rocherau, an Aussie restaurant (!); which occasions the
following digression: I have diligently researched the matter and discovered that
Paris, the gastronomic and taste capital of the world, has no New Zealand
restaurant; it has Senegalese and Ivory Coast and restaurants of every other nation
and culture one can imagine; Parisians and visitors are thus missing an important
cuisine and ingredients...Bluff oyster, whitebait, green lip mussels (God, how they
are missing these!), great lamb, and some of the world's better sauvignon blancs
and other wines; not to mention authentic Maori cooking, Polynesian flavors and
techniques; someone of means and imagination needs to found ...Le Kiwi...I would
be pleased to advise...and taste...



























Checking out the action over at the Bibliotheque Nationale















One last look at the Vespacienne on Boulevard Arago...I think it needs to be moved
now to the historical museum of Paris, the Carnavalet; isn't it amazing how you live
somewhere merely for a month and already have all these wonderfully great ideas
and suggestions?!

I don't think that the guy was checking out the action, I think he was advertising!
