A Quick Trip to Paris

When visiting Paris, no matter what the agenda: work, leisure, forced or voluntary
Try to fit at least one monument, tourist trap or other sight into your itinerary
After all, this is the city of love and light
You may end up falling for it at first sight

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

esplanade-2

Esplanade

Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade

aleksi-2

Aleksanterinkatu

The fearless leader from Russia
Made such a fuss-ia
Wanted a statue
And a street no less
As a name sake
Oh, we are no fools
And know he was a fake
He had his dues
But I must confess
The names sound kinda cool!

A Whole Lotta Going On

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!

Delphi for World Wide Wednesday I one

“When preparing to travel,
lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”

Delphi

Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi
