Paris – continued
First day of the Rock en Seine Festival, but not for us. Even though we spent more than an hour on the metro the weather just didn’t feel right. So we decided to have some sushi and visit La Tour Eiffel, from a distance that was. One might argue that we’ve grown old, that we lost our love for music. Be that as it may, today’s lineup had no bands the both of us wouldn’t have seen before. Maybe tomorrow (and not only because the Stereophonics might actually play that song).
Live long and prosper!

Ode to Isis
Dear feline friend of ours, we miss you. Sure, it is nice to put on clothes without parts of your fur, that you tend to place with nothing but love and stunning precision on our couture, but still, it’s difficult to walk around in a city that is displaying its love for cats on every corner. So yes, we miss your Me-Heow’s and even your teeth that you sink in our toes with such grace, especially when we are sleeping. We’ll be back, shortly… Until then, stay out of trouble (not that you’d listen, but it’s worth a shot) and keep bugging Orso.

Paris
After we finally managed to get out of bed, the capital of France delivered as usual. I thought the waiter was joking when he said he’d bring a huge milk coffee, turns out he wasn’t. The rush kept us going, as far as from Notre-Dame to Sacré Coeur, trying to avoid the main tourist routes as often as possible. You’d be amazed how many people try to squeeze the same over-prized restaurants, while the little cafés (serving better food) 20 feet away remain empty. So we had our fair share of Paris served with alot of privacy, great food and a trip that ended at the infamous Place Pigalle. The 102 € entry fee as well as our casual choice of clothing kept us from seeing the naked can-can “follie”, a certain well-known red version of Don Quijote’s biggest adversary would have had to offer. Nevermind (see what i just did?…).
Live long and prosper.
