Just when you thought you were tired of photos of Paris and my children...

This vehicle counts as a car in France. It doesn't have windows -- the easier to flick your cigarette onto the street.

Notre Dame

Pont Neuf

I can't remember what building this is -- the city is full of beautiful buildings. Locks on the bridge.

The Louvre and its pyramids designed by famous architect IM Pei. This was exciting to EBH because her panda is named IM Pei (they're both small and Chinese).

Some of our students. They take photos of themselves wherever they go, and since we happened to be with them this time, and our children were stuck to them like glue, we took a photo of them with our camera (along with each one of theirs).

Tuilleries Carousel (the cotton candy is called Barbe a Papa: "Papa's Beard")

Tuilleries playground, our favorite

Can you see the wry in her? Oh believe me, it's there in full force.

The playground has kid-sized hammocks...

...and places under semi-private trees for some imagination and repose...

...and a really great see-saw, and a merry-go-round and a super tall slide. It's like my own childhood, before Americans became so litigious.

CQH bought that green wrap-around swatch with her own money. I'm a child of the 80s and I approve.
