Bois de Boulogne

Here in Paris we are enjoying doing not very much, apart from catching up with laundry, blogging, and resting.  Very nice.  Today we thought we'd better go for a walk, and chose the Bois de Bolougne (Woods of Bolougne) which is the large park on the west side of the city.  I saw parts of it from my rented bicycle last year in winter, but now it is green and sunny.

It is Sunday, and the parks of full of Parisians lying about in the sun with their shirts off.  The edge of the Bois' seemed to be populated by boguns in family tents, all playing different extremely loud Mexican music and drinking beer.  I recalled the reputation of the Bois de Boulogne as a place where the seedier side of life congregates, especially at night.  We pressed on and came upon a nicer area around a lake.

Sue met some geese.

Sunday in the park.

We had cold drink on the island.
