Amazing run through Paris with my sister.  Ran from our apartment at Rue du Temple to the river Seine, across the Ile de le Cite on the Pont D'Arcol bridge, down the river, across Pont Royale through the Jardin des Tuileries down the Avenue de Champs Elysees to the Egyptian Luxor Obelisque, took pics running under the Arc de Triomphe and continued to the Palaise de Chaillot.  Then we ran across the river again to the Eiffel Tower and crossed the park to the Ecole Militaire and around the Hotel de Invalides to cross the river and run between the Petite and Grand Palaise to run through the Jardine des Tuileries which took us under the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel to the Louvre and then up the little streets back to the apartment.  Like a mini tour of Paris!

I love running in Paris. I'm very jealous. Running down the Champs Élysées is one of the funnest things in the world.

Who's "we"?

From Rob on Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 18:55:47 from 166.205.142.151

He's in France Rob, maybe he's trying to say "yes"

As Steve's friend, I was prepared to applaud the fact that he has some female companionship in Paris. Seems like an unfortunate place to be womanless.

Unlike today durning the Jazz game which would have been a perfect time to be womanless.

I've never used the word womanless in my entire life and now that's three times in one blog comment.

Sounds extremely familiar as I was there 2 weeks ago to visit my daughter - Got to do the Paris marathon and do a few runs like the one's you mentioned. Hope you had good weather!

You guys are killing me! I am not here for love! But there are some beautiful women here...

I did do some jazz dancing last night until 3am. Pretty fun! I should have paid attention in ballroom dance back in high scholl

No video or pictures of that dancing to post?

I did post some video on my FB page but since you are anti technology, you can't see it. But I did only post my sister's video. No way one of me is getting out there.

Jazz is huge in Paris and Rome.

Bret, it must have been interesting to run on cobblestones that far. My feet hurt after three days of running
