Update on the update

I mentioned in my last update that while aboard a boat cruising the Seine during the school dinner this last Friday we had seen a fellow dressed as a zouave standing at the base of the statue of a zouave, a statue which is found near the right bank side of one of the bridges along the Seine. Well that bridge is the "Pont Alma" (thanks Beata) and I've attached a photo it to help give you an idea of this rather odd but pleasant tiny attraction on the Seine. The locals use it as a barometer of sorts to measure the flood stages of the river -- and that ther have been reports of the river coming up to the neck in years past. (Note also you can just see one of the legs of the Eiffel tower in the right background.)

Wish you were here,
