Going Separate Ways

Tonight Bob and I decided to go our separate ways... He had a Meetup with a bunch of photography buffs at a Brasserie and I was scheduled to do Bootcamp at the Champs de Mars, near the Eiffel Tower.  The operative word being "supposed".  It was cancelled earlier this afternoon, so I had to come up with plan "B".  

So I hopped on the Metro and thought I would check out the Rodin Museum. Ten years ago you could enter the Garden free of charge, but not anymore... So I just started walking. I headed in the direction of the Eiffel Tower, but was soon drawn to my absolute favorite bridge over the Seine River: the Pont Alexandre.  In the late afternoon sun, it just gleamed!  

I went down the steps closer to the river to join throngs of people walking, cycling, jogging and roller blading along the pedestrian only roadway.  There were a couple of very chic looking Bistros near the bridge, but then a bit further along there were more casual eateries and lots of places for picnickers. (Guess where our nrpext picnic will be?). 

I walked past a little Creperie, but didn't get far before it beckoned to me... I have been in Paris two weeks and not had a crêpe!  Oh my, was it good!  I chose Carmel, and it was aaaamazing!


As I strolled along, the light got more and more beautiful... Bob should have been with me taking pictures with his professional camera, but I did the best I could:

Now it's time to sleep... I have a 9 am Bootcamp class tomorrow morning!
