S & J's Big Adventure
We are staying in the area know as the 2nd Arrondissement. There seems to be an equal mix of theatre, commercial, residential and retail buildings and shop fronts around every corner.
When we pulled back the curtains this morning we were greeted by a grey and wet morning so stayed under the covers because it didn't look very inviting outside. Eventually, hunger got the better of us and we just had to go in search of food. Boy, I'm glad I'm not a hunter/gatherer.

We are staying in the area know as the 2nd Arrondissement. There seems to be an equal mix of theatre, commercial, residential and retail buildings and shop fronts around every corner.
When we pulled back the curtains this morning we were greeted by a grey and wet morning so stayed under the covers because it didn't look very inviting outside. Eventually, hunger got the better of us and we just had to go in search of food. Boy, I'm glad I'm not a hunter/gatherer.
Johnny feels his shoes are not up to the cobbles and he thinks he needs something more substantial. So we spent an hour or so looking for just the right thing. Couldn't find exactly what he wanted, so eventually we got round to the food thing.
Picked up some heat-at-home meals and on the way back noticed this substantial green wall. Best one I've seen and it is the only thing I took photos of today. The variety of plants was impressive. And our reheated dinner was pretty good too.
