Paris Out-Takes, 2

Still processing this...

Faux art nouveau; but a nice try..."Tomorrowland"?

Finally! We've been lamenting the absence of American peanut
butter in this culinary capital for years...when can we get Jif?!

Mouth to mouth?

Paris streets and gutters are washed a couple times a
week; finally, early one morning, we happened upon
the guy doing this, who turns on a valve in the gutter
and then sweeps it all downhill; note the gusher in
the lower right-hand corner

Spare barricades left in lots of places just in case the order goes
out "to the barricades"

Porsches and Ferraris and Lamborghinis are common as carrots,
but a Lotus/Caterham 7 will always catch eyes

We didn't see any peregrinos, but The Way definitely passes through
Paris

We've lived in London weeks, months at a time recently and never
seen an Austin Mini

Yet there are two parked a block from our apartment

Photo shoot near the Odeon

He was really good

We interpret this to mean it's OK to pick flowers and catch birds,
but not to stand under a tree in lightning storms

Well insulated homeless shelter

Still an issue in some places

Pastrami and suchlike are practically unheard of
here, but for the efforts of this lone restaurateur...

Metro police waiting to apprehend riders without
tickets

Someone did not like this bicycle park

Institute of Oceanography...note seahorses, octopi, lobsters, bivalves,
and all the rest in the portal artwork

In most places Adam gets just a fig leaf, but at the
Cluny he get a whole bush

NASCAR angel: can only make left turns

Nail-biter

Queen of Heaven transformer

Aerodynamic headgear for spiritual soaring

...and you can't take a jar of peanut butter on the plane either. My unopened jar was confiscated last flight.
