What I've been doing so far in July...

I love just strolling around Paris.  In the summer, I especially love to walk next to the Seine as well as the Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis.




Blue, blue sky and a very picturesque building in my "neighborhood".

We went to watch the FIFA World Cup semi-finals between the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower.


The city set up a huge tv screen and had entertainment before the game and during half-time.  The Eiffel Tower is just beginning to twinkle at 10pm.  It was a wonderful evening.

I met Leesa, Karin and Aurelia at the Rosa Bonheur.  It is a cute bar, restaurant and dance club in the Parc des Butte Chaumont.
 
We arrived there around 5:30pm, just before it got busy.


There are picnic table on both sides of the restaurant.

This park is in the 19th arrondisement and was opened in 1867 to coincide with the Exposition Universelle.    The temple of Sybil (a copy of the temple of Tivoli in Rome) sits 30 meters up on the island.

Hello there! I finally made it here. :) I loved being able to meet up at the Rosa Bonheur with you, Leesa, and Aurelia. How fun that you caught a game at the Trocadéro, and those photos of the Seine are great.

I hope to see you soon -- I'm bailing on the book club meeting tonight in lieu of seeing "Inception" with Paul, but I hope to see you soon. Let's plan another meeting, eh?

Take care, Dawn. :)

Make sure that you have a great-looking site, all up and running before you start trying to attract new users. The worst thing you can do is have users go to a site that has "coming soon" on a lot of the pages and tons of inactive links.satta king
