« ... j'ai cru qu'on pouvait définir l'aventure : un événement qui sort de l'ordinaire, sans être forcément extraordinaire. On parle de la magie des aventures […] Pour que l'événement le plus banal devienne une aventure, il faut et il suffit qu'on se mette à le raconter…»

- Jean-Paul Sartre, 1938

Printemps

Spring has finally sprung in Paris. One thing my co-workers have been telling me is that the trees, like this beautiful one with pink flowers right by the Musée Rodin, are only in bloom for so long, so it's best to enjoy it while it lasts!

Today I came straight back to the office after being at lunch for over an hour, having taken my time and conversed with a few of the other young women from the office.  But upon seeing me headed back to my desk, the man in the office next to mine asked what I was doing back so soon, and why I wasn't out taking a stroll around the quartier.  And it was true -- why miss out on a beautiful, Paris spring day like this one?!?

The weekend before last my parents were here visiting, and we took advantage of the warm, and unusually cooperative weather on Saturday to see some of Paris's best sights, like these ones.
