Scooter!!!

Oh I loved it!

Another great weekend in Paris (thanks God I still have Lufthansa miles for spending them ;)). Yesterday, Dimitri rented a scooter, so we did a kind of sightseeing tour. Genious - you don't worry about traffic, neither about parking (those who had ever driven a car in Paris would understand...), just stop wherever you would like to have a break and go whenever you feel like... A kind of freedom (including overtaking all the cars at the traffic light, sometimes take the trottoir), I'd love to live somewhere in Italy, Spain or France where the weather allows you to use those cude things!

In the evening, we had a soiree with about 10-15 people watching the football game. Got wet afterwards (Emma was somehow a little bit angry with Dimitri, so him, the scooter, Olivier - who left with us - and me - another innocent victim - were at least partially wet. Thanks God it was plain water and summer ;o)). Actually, guys wanted to go to Champs-Elysees... We tried it from Arc de Triumph, then from Concorde, gave up after circling around, driving crowded sidewalks... Paris was crazy!!! At 1:30 in the morning, the whole city was one single traffic jam, I had a feeling everybody was on the street, and you saw the flags of France, Portugal, Maroc, Turkey... Completely drunk crazy tourists were standing in the middle of the street and celebrated with French... People were standing and dancing on the vans, those who did not have luck to sit in a cabriolet just opened the windows and set out blowing a French flag...

Another scooter tour today (after a long long brunch), this time we went to Enghien, had a walk along the lake, then took the pedalos - I remember my school time (hihi). Met up with Bruno and Anna in Marais. That would be worth of a picture: have you ever transported a suitcase and computer bag with a small cude scooter? If not, I can give you a phone number where to get advise ;o)))). Had a drink and nice conversation with the guys and finally left... My plain...

Too late, going to bed. Good night! :-*
