Parisian Adventures

Ahhhh... Paris. It is nightime here, which means that it is afternoon in my body's motherland. This is something that my body is refusing to let go of. It is not being a good sport at all, my body. It has also developed - on only DAY 2 of my trip - horrendous shin splints. I cannot see how this could have happened unless my body is being unreasonable, which I suspect is the case.

Yesterday I did walk quite a lot, mosying alone about the streets of Paris (not a single person tried to attack me, Mother, although I did receive an exuberant profession of love. Details will be covered in a later blog, when I can type at an acceptable speed on an ENGLISH keyboard.) It certainly wasn't enought to account for these shin splints, though. So that's another unexpected development. Those (unexpected develepments) have ABOUNDED already on this trip.

But back to my body's bad attitude. I'll admit that it did do without sleep for quite some time, but does that justify it falling asleep in the bath last night? I think not. PARTICULARLY when the bath was an appeasement effort for the whiny legs. Also - today when I was taking a tour of Paris, it decided that it was sleepy AGAIN and I ended up riding the entire route twice. (Not a bad thing, really, as it allowed me to see a lot of things and absorb everything in a way that I would not otherwise have been able to.)

I will write lots more when I am home, and post pictures. Now, though, I cannot take much more of this keyboard! Tomorrow I am scheduled to take the train to Nice, although I've been told that there is a rail strike! Hopefully it is over by tomorrow.

So much more to come! Stay tuned.
