We left our lock on this bridge on May 31, just 4 days after Eric took this shot. We love knowing we left a little of ourselves in Paris and plan on revisiting next spring.<br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-35927820839505622282012-05-29T05:57:40.472+02:002012-05-29T05:57:40.472+02:00Poor bridge.

I think the most amusing thing is that the Paris officials - not wanting the locks on the bridge - keep taking them off. They're just asking for more, as this pic shows so well. Let the grids fill up and soon there will just be no more room. Then - cue the tip-toeing music - wait awhile and when the next new thing gains cache, the work crews sneak in, caps down over their eyes, and replace the grids in the middle of the night! : )carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707252035543174470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-36464461218928986482012-05-27T19:17:19.035+02:002012-05-27T19:17:19.035+02:00Great shot but sorry, it may be very romantic but ...Great shot but sorry, it may be very romantic but I think it's vandalism!
