modern Adonis....

We hit town mid afternoon, due to such an early start from Casablanca and etc we were rather washed out....Summer time but ohh so cold....we could see Sacre Coeur from our window so decided to take a wander up the hill for a visit.

Paris is generally fairly flat but the little Mont it is situated on is quite steep....many, many steps later from the behind side we were there.

Steps in front, as always were full of people, some nice jazz playing and street performers.

 This young guy was mesmerising- standing on the balustrade with all of Paris spread out behind he giggled and juggled a football- first standing there...you would have thought it was on strings the way he made it dance, one time he did drop it though which proved it was all due to skill, no magic.

 Even climbing a nearby lamp post that ball was still completely in his orbit....

 mesmerizing...

 

In the park, newly arrived in Paris...so happy to finally make it with Praveen.

At home, the humid heat is still intense- too hot to even wear eye liner....water has to be left in the bucket for the day to take a shower when I get home otherwise I would be scalded from water from the cold tap!

Feeling rather virtuous though, all the initial requests to hotels etc are out for Morocco 2014.... we have re-arranged a few things, think we have squeezed in a stitching experience with a woman's group who make beautiful buttons for djellbha...

Starting to get serious with the itinerary for France now....so going through our pictures and reminiscing is good for  tantalising the taste buds all around...

 

back to office work...and sweltering.... please send a rain shower soon, our planted fields have seeds emerging....don't want them to fry off.
