Roland enjoying Paris!
Marlow's traveling companions
We've been exploring Paris by bike. Taking advantage of the many "free" bike rental stations called "Velib" located around the City. After registering for a cost of one Euro, you can use any bike for up to 30 minutes at no charge. You can return the bike to any bike station. The service is all automated and you use a kiosk to handle the rental transaction. It is very convenient and makes it easy to move from one area to another. There are hundreds of bike rental stations around the City and each station has between 15 and 30 bikes available for use at any time.
We arrived in Paris on Thursday night and it was familiar enough that it felt a bit like we had arrived at home. We've spent a lot of time just enjoying the apartment. Roland has been treating us to wonderful home-cooked meals. We've been shopping in street markets and pretending that we live here. If only for the weekend.
Tonight we will be having dinner with an old friend of Marlow and Roland's who now lives in Paris. And the taxi arrives at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning to take us to the airport for our flight back home.
