Getting on the bus like that to go to swim classes is... interesting to say the least. <BR/><BR/>The kids were absolutely adorable, but the driver who looks at you and, with zero emotion, informs you that you have to find some way to get off at the back of the bus, regardless of the fact that there are people standing one against the other in the aisle... <BR/><BR/>Bienvenue à Paris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011647259561000207.post-74239853460583058492008-11-26T04:56:00.000+01:002008-11-26T04:56:00.000+01:00At least you are in Paris.

It's crazy how much of a role public transportation plays in our everyday existence here.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078386635713721679noreply@blogger.com
