Bits and bobs from Paris

[Old Crank]

We were both feeling under the weather when we hit Paris. So we didn't get to ramble around like we normally do.

Will the HOA let me put this between our bedroom windows?


They objected to this.

1. Of all my traveling and living abroad for 12 years, Paris is the city I miss the most -- thank you

so much for these!

[Old Crank]

11. We like Paris also.

I like Bologna a bit better. More people sized. But we have more to see.

[blm]

2. Wonderful photos!

[Old Crank]

12. Thanks

[Walleye]

3. Great shots, thank you

4. Well, my dear Old Crank, your ramblings look great to me! These are just wonderful. Thank you!

[Old Crank]

13. So much to see.

Especially if you want to look past the big tourist things

5. Even the graffitti has class. And what's wrong with a sculpted breast for your HOA?

6. In Baden Baden, Germany : Tuesday is mixed nude day at the spa.

[Old Crank]

16. Friedrichsbad.

Only 2 days a week with bathing suits. Tues and Thurs have both sides available for both genders. The other days men and women are somewhat separated. We went though on 2 different days, one day set by gender and the other mixed.
The whole therm thing they do is quite the experience. We will go back.

14. I love the Krakken

We can't affix anything to the outside of our building. Like most HOAs, but German....We will follow the rules.

7. Great photos of the out of the way and not noticed things.

[Old Crank]

15. It is my fire inspector training.

the first thing you do when you enter a room is to look up (sprinkler and detectors)
Walk down any old European street look up. There is so much stuff.

22. Keep your mouth closed looking up. Those gargoyles are known to "leak".

[Old Crank]

17. Thanks. I try to look around.

If I am walking in a group I can be a real pain as I drag along behind....

8. Cool collection Old Crank. At first glance my eye put an extra o in bobs.

A premonition to your first and fourth pictures.

[Old Crank]

18. There are plenty more

Trust me.
They fit in my friends definition of art or crafts. If there are boobs it is art. None, crafts....

[George McGovern]

23. Ha Ha LOL Then, who needs crafts?

[Bumbles]

9. Sometimes/most times best things are found in out of the way places -

art, food, people, conversations, quiet. Bits and bobs, you know. Thanks, Old Crank.

[Old Crank]

19. You are welcome

I keep fighting the impulse to shoot everything all the time or sit in a plaza with some tea or wine and watch the world go by.

[George McGovern]

24. For what it's worth then, I'm glad you DON'T just sit and watch the world go by!

[Old Crank]

25. Once in Florence

We sat outside at a restaurant waiting to order some tea. The waiter never showed, but I did get a short series of instagrammers trying foe the best shot by the Golden bridge.

10. #1. Cover up the nipple and --- maybe. But don't let John Ashcroft see it.

[Old Crank]

20. I'm in Europe

There are plenty of breasts on statues and reliefs. There are also a fair number of firm backsides for the women to notice also.

[3Hotdogs]

21. That's nice. But you asked about the H.O.A. I'm just trying ta save ya some legal fees.

26. Looks like it got so cold someone froze her ... nt
