trois semaines

The weather was unusually warm today and it was a nice preview to what the city is going to be like in the spring.  I spent the afternoon at Le Parc de la Tête d'Or which translates as the park of the gold head. Inside is a huge botanical garden, huge lake, and a zoo that is free to the public.

the gates to the park


this was my favorite sign at the zoo, because it essentially says don't give baguettes to elephants.

Differences Cont. 
10. It is completely acceptable for cars to park on the sidewalk
11. razor scooters are still very cool, and can be ridden by adults while smoking cigarettes

  2. Without that caption, I would have thought that that baguette was that person's foot!
