I think this post is more of an excuse to put up this photo of dawn in Paris than anything else…Just a quick stop in Paris on our way to Spain. A couple of days of eating and drinking, endless walking and a wee bit of shopping. The important part is the eating and drinking, of course. Not much in the way of Spanish wine around, but that’s not what you come to Paris for! There is a fair bit of Port available here, I’m told France is one of the bigger markets for Port. Anyway, a bit of Bordeaux and Burgundy never go astray.

While it’s only our second time in France, I can’t say that I have the same love for France that I do for Spain or Portugal. Don’t get me wrong, I like the place and its a great place to visit, but Spain seems to fit like my favourite old pair of jeans, as soon as I get off the plane I feel at home. Having a bit of Spanish under my belt helps to make things more comfortable I guess. Anyway, I’ll be there tomorrow night, tucking into a plate of Jamon and a half bottle of Manzanilla by 9pm…Que bueno!
