Paris Day 3

Four Italian guys get hexed by their ex-girlfriends.
Louvre. Notre Dame. Checked out my old place at 41 rue des Ecoles. Now a hotel (Villa Pantheon). Croq and sausages at Pub Saint Hilaire on rue des Carmes. Pantheon.

Paris Day 2

Bel was photographed today at the Arc de Triomphe, Tour Eiffel and Louvre. Yes, she walked from St-Lazare. And back. Tradeoffs: La Duree macaroons and Cote de France chocolates for all those burned calories.
