A Post about Posts

It's the little things. Some time in the future, when I'm back in DC leading my hectic American working mom life, I'm going to think back on my days in Paris and I'm sure it will all be a crazy sugar-coated blur.  I probably won't conjure up these poles that line the sidewalks, presumably to keep the cars in the street.  (Although they do nothing to keep the crazy motorcyclists from menacing pedestrians.) And like the rattan cafe chairs, the smells of the boulangerie and the sight of the Eiffel Tower, they are quintessentially Paris.

I sympathize. I live in metro DC and know too well the hectic-ness. Blogs on Paris/travel are a wonderful escape! How much longer do you have in Paris?

I thought I was the only person that thought about these posts..they make great leaning posts when you are tired of walking...once I got home this trip I actually missed them...

thanks for the post and pictures of "my" posts...;)

I don't know what gives me more agita: these posts or the moto drivers!

Not looking where I was going, I walked into one of these poles a couple of years ago and was bruised for a month.

Elizabeth: We're set to go back to DC sometime next summer. Whenever it happens, it will be too soon.

I agree with Debbie. I used them many times to lean on while I caught my breath.

Your wonderful blog posting consistency will be greatly missed... somehow DC probably will not hold my attention the same way.
