Jen and Dave: Adventuring

Today was a simple day, as we kept close to the apartment awaiting the delivery of our luggage. The morning was walking around the Bastille portion of the city, checking out the Canal du Midi, and getting a glimpse of the Cité from the bridges. A stop at the grocery store, and we returned to the apartment. After some Thai takeout from down the street and a complaint call about the lack of updates, we had a bit of down time.

The afternoon was a trip to the local lake, which is clearly a well-used favourite hang-out. A paved trail guided us around the lake, which was at a concerningly low water level, particularly given the time of year. The highlights were a chorus of frogs, some ducks, and the most outlandish, enormous and challenging rope course we have ever observed.

After the lake we went to a pocket park in a neighbourhood that had a trail to a bluff. Dave’s research was correct, and it lead to a beautiful view of la Cité. Parfait.

Dinner at the apartment followed, and more waiting. Naps. A short walk for some. Just waiting…
