21 Aout - Opera, Printemps, Bastille, Vosage, Bercy, Pantheon, tea at Mosque


We got off le metro at the opera house and walked to Printemps for a 10am fashion show that nobody knew about.  We shopped and shopped. I was actually going to buy something until they said I'd have to pay 1.50 euro for Haley to go the bathroom.  That resulted in a bit of swear words, cheap place that wants you to spend lots of money for little service.  We stormed out of there the best you can out of a maize, as I was mentioning that Norstroms is so much better.  I looked online at the shoes I wanted that were hard to find and more expensive, might discretely go back to get - maybe.  I get so annoyed on the right bank.  I think I remember a similar scene back in 1980, think I remember the same snotty bathroom place.

 LOL we tried on some hats at a store and got in trouble for taking pictures in them!


We stopped for a crepe and espresso across from Trinity Church


can see Sacred Cour
 




St Denis

Strasbourg


On our way to the Place de la Republique and Bastille, there was construction, gambling places, guys picking their nose, an old guy with a festering sore on his neck, a guy scratching his hairy belly, a lollipop place with no candy only lace windows - not my fav walk.  Note most the time we see stylish, beautiful males and females - France has amazing good looking people.  Just on this walk - not so stylish.




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Second cafe stop and finally Haley gets to go the bathroom.  We have been walking since 9am and it's 4pm.

Palace Des Vosges
 Walking to La Seine, I walked by a guy picking his feet
 Water lilys in Bercy Garden where we had dinner at 7pm in Bercy Village with Etienne

Birds act the same everywhere!
 
After walking we feel healthier, well except it feels like we have smoked 3 packs of cigarettes.  Many, Many people smoke here - old, young, male, female.  They can be seen walking with cigarettes, in cafes smoking, really anytime is good for this nicotine obsessed county.
