That One Time in Paris

Le Tour Eiffel Paris, France

This architectural monolith is definitely a sight to behold.  The intricate details of its construction makes this monument a must-see at some point in your lifetime.  It's really a magnificent structure.

I live for these days...

This is how I'd like to and plan to spend many more Saturday's to come:

Dining al fresco is no foreign concept and there a plenty cities stateside that take the practice seriously and offer it in abundance.  However, in Paris, I'd have to say that they hold this practice dear and it's more about social aspect as opposed to making sure that you're spending money to enjoy a service.  The numerous places like this in the many districts of the city make you feel like you you're constantly at a picnic where there just so happens to be someone passing by that doesn't mind bringing you the food and drinks that you meant to bring with you anyway.  The way that the seating area just starts to blend into the neighborhood without strict borders allows you to lose yourself in your neighborhood surroundings.

Bricks and Bikes in Williamsburg

a man and his mode of exploration... from city to city, country to country... the world is always on his side. 

This past weekend I discovered pretty much the best way to get around the city; on two wheels. Regular drivers can make the streets a little scary but sharing the roads on a Sunday afternoon is not as terrifying as I thought it would be. Unlike Keilon, I don't own a bike, so I rented one from the bike share system in NYC, Citi Bike. Although it's nice to ride and not have to worry about looking for a place to chain my ride, I'd prefer to not be limited the lack of bike stations located north of 63rd St in Manhattan and south of Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn. With all that being said maybe one day I'll have a bike of my own, and give up the A/C of the train.
