Metro strike

Well the Paris transport strike hit the city pretty hard yesterday -- but it was a gorgeous day in Paris so having to walk or bike or rollerblade to work wasn't such a bad deal after all.

Many of the city-run bikes-for-hire racks were empty as folks made good use of this handy and inexpensive form of transportion to get around, at least in the city proper. Susie walked to Pascal's, and it only took her about 40 minutes. She's off this morning on the same route since much of the city transport is still out on strike and suffering form a bit of urban confusion

And speaking of confusion, please excuse the lousy video of the Saint-Martin canal that I put online the other day -- not to mention the poor spelling in the blog note. Anyway, I've recut the video -- it's shorter I think with the same music though -- and reuploaded the new version.

Wish you were here,

Steve
