Bits and bobs from Paris

We were both feeling under the weather when we hit Paris. So we didn't get to ramble around like we normally do.

Will the HOA let me put this between our bedroom windows?


They objected to this.

I like Bologna a bit better. More people sized. But we have more to see.

We can't affix anything to the outside of our building. Like most HOAs, but German....We will follow the rules.

the first thing you do when you enter a room is to look up (sprinkler and detectors)
Walk down any old European street look up. There is so much stuff.
