Birds Don’t Belong in Cages

While I was at the shows over at the Louvre on Sunday, Clem was sleep in! But when I returned he had just gotten up and was heading out to meet up with his friend Eric. I choose to crash and rest up for the evening since it was only 2pm. Clem headed out to meet Chrystelle & Eric and head over to the flower market over at Notre Dame. When they arrived to their surprise, it Bird day over at the market. Thousands of bird caged up for people’s amusement. I am so glad I didn’t go, I honestly detest the caging of birds. Clem agrees but he gritted his teeth and went on with the stroll.

After they left the market, Eric started showing Clem all the great shops along Isle d’Louis. And introduced him to some amazing Glacee, chocolate nonetheless. After the Glacee Clem headed back to the apartment to wake me up. We headed out to dinner in the neighborhood. We ate a cute little tapas restaurant on the street. And we had the sweetest waiter in the world. He sat down with us and chatted a lot about where he was from and asking questions about California.

Afterward we wondered our way back to the apartment while taking more evening shots of architecture in the area. We found a couple of little ally’s and inside malls were open and I took some more shots. I had never seen the water runoff in the street before. I mean I’ve seen it in movies but never in person. So far our experiences and interactions with the Parisians has been great – dispelling all the myths shoved down our throats in the US.
