When nymphs enlighten Paris...


Silly me! Today I was meant to go to another opening, but when I handed out the invitation at the entrance, they politely said "but sir, it's tomorrow!". So on the way back I crossed the Seine and took this photo at the Pont Alexandre bridge. The golden torch belongs to one of the nymphs that you can see on both sides of the bridge (that is, if you are on a boat of course!). If you notice, the light was pretty "cold" last evening, which means autumn/fall is on its way! Grrrr. Time to move to the Southern hemisphere LOL!

  4. I know how you must feel:
    The invitation must be wrong, the doorman must be wrong, the calendar must be wrong, my mobile and my watch must be wrong, somebody must have told me it was today, they must have moved the date, There must be something/someone I can blame. It can't be me, can it?

    So, with no one/nothing else you can pin the blame on, you sneak away with your tail between your legs, hoping no one else has witnessed the whole sad affair. :-(

    PS Don't forget you have an opening to attend today.

  9. I once booked a flight a day after I actually had to fly, so I showed up a day 'early' but I had to go, go, go!! They were very nice and didn't humiliate me and they did get me there on time. Just by way of saying who these nice people were, PHX, it was American Airlines.
