My Big Walk
On Wednesday, I walked to the center of Paris. That’s a big walk from Montmartre. I left our apartment at around 3:30, Mrs. W happily ensconced within, and walked for two and a half straight hours. Finding my way was a little challenging. I had a map of central Paris and one of Montmartre but that left a gap in between. Still, I had a general idea of how they related and that turned out to be sufficient. I walked down the hill along a route that eventually took me to the Place de la Concorde, hung a left, and entered the Tuileries, walked down to the Lourvre, then started home. On the way I spent a few minutes resting in the jardin outside the Palais Royal. Up until now, that little oasis of quiet has to be my favorite discovery. If I’d been there before, I have no memory of it. Of course, Mrs W says that we’ve been to all sorts of places that I have no memory of. I’m not sure whether to believe her. She could be making stuff up.
