I mean, if I just decided to skip the plane home and stay a few more months, I still don't think I could say I saw it all. One month is definitely not long enough.

We've touched the edges of the 17th, but barely. Love a good outdoor market—we're headed to Marché Président Wilson tomorrow (in the 16th).

We are right at the entrance of Les Halles, which I guess is technically still the First. Part of me wishes we were in a quieter more residential area, but honestly the location is super convenient to everything, including a Monoprix that we shop almost daily. Def not for everyone, but works for us.

No mourners. Actually, even though we saw a few people in the general area, we were the only ones at the grave itself. The stuff people chose to leave behind is kind of hilarious though. The most poignant thing to me for some reason were all the guitar picks.

Street art.

#PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #MaintenanceHoleMonday
#MinimalMonday #AIIMetalMonday #MinimalMonday

An iron maintenance cover in a brick and stone street. The cover is a square with a circle inside. In the center of the circle is an open oval, presumably to insert a tool to remove the cover. The circle is decorated with a ring of diamond shapes, separated by lines, and concentric rings of alternating short and long lines. In the corners created where the circle meets the square are patterns of diahonal lines.

I don't know how I missed her on previous visits; I guess I'd been focused on something else. This time she literally just rose suddenly out of the trees. Plus we had that beautiful blue sky. Amazing.
