Cut for images of pastries, cheese, the Seine by night, and some very unhappy tourists. Most of these were taken by my mom.

The Seine by night.

I strike an odd pose at the Seine.

A traditional cheese shop.

I huddle in a babushka.

Versailles. You can't tell, but it's freezing cold and pouring rain.

The tourists at Versailles do not actually wish to march through the gardens in the wet and cold.

Neither does the tour guide, who is not even wearing stockings and is very tired of hearing, "Is that a long walk?"
