on a rainy dreary day, we found a note of sunshine, a place noted in our “lonely planet” book guide that’s provided us with much guidance and ideas :
the location where britain signed the treaty of paris recognizing american independence
all kinds of famous guys like benjamin franklin et al were there 😉 and i’ve provided a few suggested links below for more info on the treaty and war for independence
it was worth the trip 😉
the hotel next door, the guide book also told us, is where hemingway first stayed in paris

“A Remembered Reality”
paris
remembered
as we see it in reality
is a paris made
new in our
hearts
with bits of pastries
sips of wines and other
countries’ drinks of preference
with pastas tacos fajitas and sushi
with statues hung with golden
holiday wreaths and holding
cups of once hot coffee
with
vistas of the eiffel tower
unexpectedly
visible
across christmas trees
and
open gardens planted for
italian princesses married french
paris is a remembered feast
moveable
where the buses stop for protestors
and it’s warmer outside in the
winter
under heat lamps outside
on the terrace
yes
i’ll remember her well
broad avenues with slim arms
of tiny streets
where
birds know to merely walk aside
and fly
only to catch the ships streaming along the quais
yes, paris, yes
