Wandering the streets of Paris

One of the Metro stops in Montmartre district

View from the Metro Stop


Bart, Terri, Deb sitting at an outside cafe (and showing souvenirs we bought!)

It's cool out, but warm enough to enjoy eating outdoors!


Parking was amusing to watch (as long as you don't have to drive in it) Here was a typical parking scene. The blue car was nose to nose with the car in front of him too, so I don't know how he could get out without waiting for the cars in front and back of him to leave!

Notice the back car, it is called "Smart car" They are so tiny, we saw one parked; backed into a parellel parking spot and it didn't stick out! (Didn't have time to get that picture!) Evidently the Smart cars are coming to the USA but will be about 6 inches longer.

We all managed to keep together on the Metro except for this stop. For some reason you can get out of either side of the train at this stop. Well, we all got out on the one side except for our friend, Roger. He got out on the other side and when the train left, he had to figure out how to get to our side! After no success, he waited for the next train and then walked though the train to the other side!
It provided a lot of laughter. Of course, too late, we thought it would be funnier if all of us had walked through the train as Roger was walking though it and confuse him even more! (He'd still be on the other side from us! )
