The Paths of Paris

  There are two ways to walk down to the Seine from our apartment.  The first one-all you have to do is follow the crowds of tourists to the Trocadero.  Walk past Displays of Public Affection (yes, they make out a lot here in Paris), bouncing baby carriages (see previous comment) and end up in photos where someone from Milan is going to ask someday "Who is that person?"
  The second option is the path my husband showed me the other well-lit evening.  Apparently it's only known to the locals.  Follow that path and your only companions are birds.

  The rails are made to resemble curved tree branches and trunks.  The path is mossy and green.  I feel compelled to slow down and take it all in.
  What a contrast the scenery here is, compared to the desert.
  I am enchanted by this path and use it every day.
