July is gone. The fact that we existed during the month of June and continue to exist in the month of August demonstrates that we were extant during July as well, though there is little photographic evidence of said existence. It’s the existential squeeze theorem, though I suppose the squeeze theorem is already existential if …
The Purrito kindly volunteered to be the gatherer for our traditional Sunday breakfast; I normally go, but am not feeling spectacular due to an apparent sinus infection (oh the joy). As she entered the flat, bread in one hand and Starbucks in the other, she mentioned that there was a band of unknown provenance at …
As the Purrito often reminds me, our long-weekend vacations are supposed to be restful. The transit phase never is, or so it seems to me, and the movement phases of our weekend in Prague came dangerously close to damaging my calm at several points. On the way there, we had: The closure of the RER …
As neither of us were feeling particularly spectacular this past Saturday, we decided to eschew our original museum-oriented plans in favor of visiting the canal Saint-Martin area. The Purrito had been asking me if I wanted to go in the months previous; I admit, however, to having little interest until I learned (thanks, Stéfane le …
Our adventures in the colder parts of the European continent have taken us through Bruxelles thrice now; we’ve passed through twice on our way to Amsterdam and once on our way to Bruges. While the stops were always short (on the order of three or four minutes in the case of the Amsterdam trips, a …
These are from Friday evening’s wandering that featured a cramique, my camera, and a part of the 7e that we’ve never really walked through.
I have been mulling over what to write about Avignon and find myself somewhat stuck; it’s not that there’s not much to say (we were there for three days), but I wound up taking a startling number of pictures on this trip, 237, and uploading 30-odd of them in the attached gallery. As a side …
Saturday saw our plans go sideways for the third week in a row, though we did manage to get something checked off of the to-do list: The Musée Marmottan Monet. The museum itself started life as an outpost on the edge of the world; originally constructed as a hunting lodge. it is now in the …
From our visit to the opera house a few weeks ago. I uploaded them, but never threw them into a post…
Yesterday proved to be a bit much for our lungs (mine in particular, seeing as I seem to be unable to rid myself of a cold). While we did end up doing what we planned to do, making a few stops for the sole purpose of hanging out in seemingly fresher air certainly helped us …
