Weekend in Paris
We met up with friends Steve and Brendan in Paris and, as usual, walked and walked and walked. This time, we discovered La Coulée Verte Paris, also known as the Promenade Plantée, which is an elevated walkway & park that used to be an elevated train track.
We saw a pizza vending machine, but didn’t try it., but we did try a cool little wine bar. And, we walked past the renovated Notre Dame, which is still under construction but looking good.
We also got to experience the city erupting with excitement Saturday night as Paris beat Milan for the Champions League. People were celebrating and streets started getting closed off, along with the Metro stops we needed to get back to our hotel. The Metro itself was shaking from people celebrating and even the driver was honking with excitement at each station.
