Walking from the Orangerie back to the Embassy, I walked right by the enormous Ferris Wheel at the end of the Tuileries, and decided, WTH, I can't get a better high view of Paris this trip. So, for 12 Euros, I took two cycles up, and really enjoyed myself. I was in a car with a young man from Marseilles, who had never been to Paris (!), so he was very excited. I mentioned I was from Boston, and he said "Tom Brady!" (I spent 7 days away from Boston, and did not hear a mention, or see a reference to the Donald or Hillary. What Joy!)
Some very nice views, indeed.
