this post will be very brief, for i am typing with just one hand.
this is because i seem to have developed the habit of taking spectacular falls onto the sidewalks of paris.
please note: in neither case should either paris or mme hidalgo be blamed for this. my good fortune in both episode 1 and episode 2 was to tumble onto a smooth, even, and even nice and clean sidewalk. never mind why! 😦
but before i fell i did manage to get a couple of photos of the newly reopened samaritaine, shown above.
watch your step, everyone! and i will try to do the same. 🙂

Quel domage. Feel better! And thanks for the news about the new La Samaritaine — it may be worth a trip to Paris just to check it out.
