Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

Ah, Paris! (1/2)

Ah Paris! In the spring, the city is quite nice actually.

We spent a few days there, walk­ing around the main sights and tak­ing pic­tures. We have both been there many times, but it’s always fun to check out the city of light!

On Sat­ur­day, I also got the chance to meet a fel­low blog­ger, lovely Bar­bara (Home In France) and her hus­band, Didier. I met her where she lives, in the sub­urb of Paris and we chat­ted for a lit­tle while (she speaks per­fect French!) about life in France and trav­el­ing. Nice meet­ing you Bar­bara, and thanks again for the choco­late egg (some­body knew my weakness…!).

    @Baoru — Thank you!

    @Guillermo — Gra­cias! :-)

    @barbara — To live, yeah, I like your lovely place best. But it’s always fun to explore Paris for a lit­tle while!

    @Bluefish — I have actu­ally never been to Ver­sailles to be hon­est. The Mont St Michel is cool though!

    @Bill Miller — :lol: There were also mimes dressed like Ram­ses, they looked so real!

    @Linguist-in-Waiting — There were a lot of tourists, much more than last year. We didn’t visit inside this time.

    @Seraphine — The Sacré Coeur is fun, I like this spirit there, always some­thing happening.

    @shionge — Come on the dqrk side… :lol:

    @Max Coutinho — I wish I could visit Por­tu­gal, the more I learn about it through your blog, the more I want to go. If only Europe was’t so expensive…

    @Agnes — I have never seen Jim’s grave either come to think of it! Le Lou­vre is great but it takes at least a full day to get to see the main stuffs. We were exhausted last year after visiting!

    @Seb — Hi Seb, glad to hear from you! It has been a while… cool to see you back.

    @Aiglee — Any­time, I’ll give you tips :-)

    @Tanya — Thank you!

    @kyh — true; it doesn’t change, but it’s still a nice break!

    @Khengsiong — I usu­ally upload all the pics in my Flickr (which you can access by click­ing on the “pics” in the menu bar). They are much bigger!
