c'est la vie

in the past 24 eventful hours I have:
seen a kid fall into the horribly dirty seine river
been subjected to an elaborate gypsy scam involving a ring not unlike that from lord of the rings
wandered around lost, double lost, been pinched, laughed at, watched my paris street map dissolve in my hands- still lost, the arruive at the Louvre to find it closed,

finally found selves, sat along the river seine in setting sun, beside notre dame in the light of the afternoon, sipped coffee, beer, wine, water, orange juice, and the light of a second evening on the river.

Am very tired, sweaty, grungy looking, but full
ergo happy.
