Things I've Observed About Paris

About 30% of the personal vehicles in Paris are motor cycles or scooters. There are almost no American name plate cars here; less than 1%. The same for Japanese name plate cars. Mostly Citreon and Renault. With a few Mercedes and BMW.

There is an odor that permeates the place. I just figured today that it is all the limestone. It is all over the place. The city sits on huge limestone deposits, and it is a major building material. it's not a horrible smell; it's just everywhere.

It rains a lot in Paris. It has rained everyday we've been here.

Paris is a very fun city to visit. We've found the local citizenry to be very helpful and nice. There are a lot of foreign visitors, from all over.
