Rain and Sun in Paris

Valerie and Britt recently flew to Kenya, to look for housing in Nairobi.
The flight went through Paris, where Valerie also had a one-day work meeting.
Though the trip was just a quick pass through, it did provide an opportunity for some great walks, quick visits with relatives, and dinner in a classic Left Bank eatery.
It was June, and the weather was predictably mixed.

 There was rain

 There were delicious pastries

 and surprises

 including these people, dressed in period costume

 The Pont des Arts is now totally covered with love lockets/locks

 and edges of the Seine covered with loving couples

 and then, the sun came out

 which inspired local painters

 and early morning runners

 The fire brigade stopped to pose

 and Eiffel Tower vendors did their best

 as did this dancing lady

 Dinner at Le Polidor

 with long days and late sunsets
