Paris

After sorting through our September trip photos again, I noticed I never posted any of the pics from our handful of days in Paris. We made the requisite stop at the incredible L'As du Fallafel. L'As du Fallafel has some competition now: there are a couple of copycat falafel joints on the same corner. We spent solid chunks of our remaining time seeing the lights by night and checking out the flagship Le Bon Marche, one of Paris's oldest department stores. Bon Marche's market annex -- where many of the photos were taken -- went on and on.

We saw the distinctive Velib rent-a-bikes everywhere. What a cool idea. Too bad you need a "smart" credit card with a microchip in it in order to use the program. Most American credit cards don't have this.

Here are the Paris photos.
