SO, I'm now ready to get off my feet. Fortunately I bought my bike to replace foot pain with knee pain. After a week in Paris I'm ready to set off tomorrow morning. I'm heading northest toward Meaux, and Reims. I spent today getting the bike and other last minute bits and pieces. Actually I spent about an hour at the sporting goods store getting food, pumps, ,maps and the like. Tonight France plays Brazil which should be fun, especially if France wins. Last time they didn't stop honking or singing until well into the night. Unfortunately that wqs Spain, and this is Brazil, a whole new ball game.
The past week in Paris went by far too quickly. Corie and I walked a thousand miles. We had a good time, and sampled all the food of Paris, especially the non-French cuisine somehow. Today after she left I had a bike for the first time, so I drove around enough to determine that I'm glad not to be driving in Paris, and I visited the new musée du quay branly, which was cool but not wildly spectacular.

Phew,
Glad to here you got a bike ok. Now I just need to hear that you made it out of Paris traffic alive and are on your way to eating, I mean biking, your way around rural France. I hear that they won their game? I'm so disappointed that I missed it! Brazil loses-- who knew?
I'm back in Petite, up to my eyeballs in cat hair. I'll send you a proper email when I can stop blowing my nose for thiry seconds.
I'm also choked that you went to the branly museum without me! Send photos!
Oh yeah, things just got good as you left. Too bad. I'll work on getting some photos onto CD in the near future.
