Weekend

We had a great weekend exploring Paris with Linda and Colin. Unlike Eastern Canada, the weather in Paris has been fantastic. On Saturday we walked through the city until we came to the two big department stores Au Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. Both decorate their windows for Christmas. There are some windows just for kids and others look like high fashion art.

We took the metro to St. Germain for lunch. Then we walked along the river where Linda and Colin took part in the local tradition of putting a lock on the bridge and throwing the key away.

Lori asked why we aren't romantic enough to do this and I told her that I don't partake in civil disobedience. Then we stopped in to the Great Canadian Pub for a few drinks (I was craving a Caesar) before heading back to our place to finish off the night. It was a great day.

On a side note, Lori finally broke down and went shoe shopping. Most people (including myself) have been surprised that Lori hasn't gone crazy buying shoes while in Paris. That changed on Saturday when she found a store that was closing and having a clearance sale. She walked out with six pairs.
