Paris Round 2
Photos: A small child wandered into our camp and watched in startled delight as the tower lit up. Second is a shot of the tightly packed Latin Quarter. Third, another shot of Versailles, this time a fountain. And last, the group photo!
Paris First Round
I had an amazing time getting to know Paris briefly. Here are a few shots from the day. I had an amazing list of things to do thanks to my friend Valerie, merci! The images here are: First at the Palace of Versailles I rented a bike for a few euro and toured around the gardens. This is from the far end, 2k from the palace. Second is the Eiffel Tower, Friday afternoon. Third was a great hangout near a peruvian homeless camp near the Juares stop on the metro! And finally a photo from outside the Louvre.

A little of everything
I thought I would post a few other pictures from the past week, a potpourri of images if you will. The weather here has been incredible, I am even asking when the gloom will turn up. Everything is sunny and warm, I went and played soccer this afternoon across town. No Brits playing at all, but I met some really nice people who are here from Georgetown and they let me into their pick up game, cheers guys.
I'm going to Paris in three days, but here there are little things on the streets that I like; the way water puddles in the old cobblestone, or the light that hangs shadows on the tinged stone walls, that same sun that seems to hang in the sky far past its welcome, the small dogs running around, the quiet hum of the small cars.
Enjoy the pictures: First is the Jericho Pub during the Germany v England match, the second is a view of Christ Church, then a view of Oxford, and finally myself inside the courtyard beside Christ Church.
