Farewell Paris. Our apartment lease ran out. Returning to Colorado to plan and scheme.

Ok so
We did this yesterday

In a cafe having a hazelnut mocha. The overhead is playing “Gone but not forgotten” by DJ Big E (or so says Shazam) and I am realizing it is the opposite of other hip hop sample-centric songs… (1/2)

We had a lovely walk this morning while it was sunny but over the interval where we had coffee the sky turned black and opened up like a waterfall.

Went and hung out at the Louvre today … because we can. It was honestly awesome to just sit and not rush, to enjoy each room we visited without any other goal but enjoy.

Today we will get a stack of chocolates to bring back with us, and then return to Paris.
Belgium is pretty awesome though.

Surprise side quest: Gierle, BE
Our view from our room is a very sharp contrast with the city lights of Paris

Sorta wandered up on this place last night while we were looking for dinner. The Google machine says it is what it claims to be. Pretty cool!
(Too expensive for a spur of the moment dinner though)

The media knows who butters their bread. He must be torn apart and destroyed, he must be shredded and discredited. He must be found to have groped inappropriately, freebased the weed, or owned a Che poster.

He cannot be allowed to exist undiminished.

The site of our $20 lunch, which was: a spinach hand pie appetizer, chunks of roast pork with green beans and young potatoes as a main, and cocoloate mousse as a dessert

Every time I walk past this tower at night I look up, expecting to see Bat Man watching the streets. And every time I don’t see him I am a little disappointed.

Walked into a very old church today with our friend Marija, a doctor from Croatia. And when we entered, the pipe organ sounded, and then the choir began to sing … Ave Maria

The prompt on Bluesky is “what’s up?”
Here’s what was UP today.
I try to always remember to look up…

For some reason I just keep thinking about 1358 France…

Bought some coat hangers at IKEA. The name on them made me giggle.

I found one. It really does distribute municipal fizzy water. It is delicious and it is free to anyone with a bottle. This city is unbelievable in all the good ways.
