It looks like it will be warming up today and tomorrow. At least I hope so. The predictedhigh where I'm going today: 16C. Should be pleasant.<br /><br />Last year when I walked thru Paris the way I did yesterday, it was on a crisp and bright Monday afternoon. The light was gorgeous, and the streets weren't crowded. I wasn't overdressed for that weather. Yesterday, everybody and his brother was out, and the light was dull and grayish. The air was muggy-warm. Oh well, even Paris can have a bad hair day once in a while.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-45697689903030348112014-03-31T00:18:30.701+02:002014-03-31T00:18:30.701+02:00Somehow, the first time I looked at these photos, ...Somehow, the first time I looked at these photos, I missed that INCREDIBLE lavender sky in the first photo.

Anyway, it is quite a few. Several years ago, I sat on a plane during one of those crossings and listed them all starting with the first in 1969. Some years I did 2 or even 3 round trips. I'll have to find the notebook where I wrote all that down.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-42662100898764589882014-03-30T19:30:04.305+02:002014-03-30T19:30:04.305+02:00Holy cow, Ken! 80 flights!

It was just too warm and humid, and crowded, for me to be pulling a heavier-than-planned suitcase around behind me. And then I had trouble with the wheels on the thing.

I think weather people in Belgium and France got a little carried away when they announced a summer-like day. I guess everybody was disappointed and therefore in a bad mood. Have a good flight and a smooth journey. Take care.

It was humid, gray, and almost hot in Paris this afternoon. Everybody and everything looked scruffy and grungy. So different fom how it felt last April 1 and on my two Paris stays last summer. I took no photos -- too many crowds, and no inspiration. I realized today that tomorrow will be my 80th flight across the Atlantic Ocean -- 40 round trips in 44 years.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-21661712528781189502014-03-30T16:41:41.111+02:002014-03-30T16:41:41.111+02:00More people I'd like to meet some day :) Lovel...More people I'd like to meet some day :) Lovely town, too.Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.com
