Here it is, January 1st, 2014. My 2013 sure went by quickly. I’m here at the home of my son in Switzerland where we “rang in the New Year”. Here is a post that I put together a couple of weeks ago:
The new hot area to either live in or just visit for a walk along the water, a cup of coffee or a meal is that around the Canal Saint Martin. On a pretty Sunday afternoon Maurice and I ventured out to explore a bit.
Photogenic bridges arch over the canal. If you haven’t seen the French movie Amelie, do so. One of these bridges is in the movie and you get a look at a lot of other places in Paris.
A look from a bridge down the canal.
The other direction as it curves away.
It’s always fun to watch a boat move through the locks.
Many cafes and coffee places abound. Most of them sell vegan or vegetarian fare.
Cute window of a toy store.
It was a little chilly so Maurice and I stopped for hot chocolate.
Happy new year! Enjoy Switzerland; we’re enjoying Italy but I confess I’m a bit “home” sick !
Happy new year and Bonne année to you and Maurice. Here’s to a peaceful and prosperous 2014.
Thank you for doing up your blog in advance - love to see pictures of Paris at any time. Been visiting for years, but never get tired of seeing and reading about it, getting ideas for the next visit. All the best for a happy and healthy 2014.
