Children's parade down Rue Cler


Tiny makes a friend. (Escargot?)

The following day the group dispersed, and I took advantage of the post-tour weekend I'd added to my trip by shopping and sightseeing with Tiny in tow. I enjoyed recognizing familiar Métro stops and monuments as I made my way from one arrondissement to the next.

My last hours in Paris were spent happily wandering Montmarte and visiting a small photography museum, the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie. I also had fun finding a few last souvenirs for friends and family back home.

Monday I followed the sun west back Los Angeles, carrying with me not only a heavier suitcase but more importantly, memories of an experience I wouldn't soon forget.
