After having managed to be in Paris a whole seven days over the past five weeks, it was time to get my head back in the game. A freezing cold week with clear blue skies (not a single drop of rain!) tempted me into long runs through the Bois de Boulogne, lunches with girlfriends, exhibits of modern architecture and museums with classic painters, a Chinese show, and dinners entre amis to top it all off.
This is the glory of Paris... because when it's good, it's grandiose, simply unbeatable... !
We'll just conveniently ignore the fact that yesterday the French riot police clashed with uniformed firefighters protesting in Paris against their working conditions and demanding more pay. In extraordinary scenes they were physically fighting each other using teargas and water cannons. How absurd?!?
