The trip to Paris started with a great ride on a speedy train that had comfy seats and a tasty breakfast served. They even provided a cute little jar of cherry jam, which I almost saved but was hungry enough to eat. I am now a full supporter of high-speed rail, much better than flying.
Paris itself is full of litter. Uncountable pieces of garbage floating in the river and piled in the parks and along the streets. Yet I feel for the garbage crews as they were working hard every time I saw them.
On a side note, I felt that Paris was a much more impressive city, more sightly anyhow. Paris driving makes London seems like Chadron though. I would love to spend more than a day there as the lines were too long to really enjoy anything, but I went for volume rather than quality of visits. L'Open Tours were a great way to see the the core of the city. It was cheap and ran all day with different lines covering different segments of town. It took me to so many things I ran out of battery in both my cameras well before I was done...and forgot about my phone camera. Oh well.
Tomorrow will be all about shopping and visiting some markets around London.
