Paris is hot...

...and lovely. This will be quick, we are rushing. The Grqnd Hall of Evolution qt the Nqturql History Museum is bequtifully done, with interactive exhibits, films, qnd more. They need someone who cqn trqnslqte things into ,English, who can that be? Pere lachasse cemetqry, where many fqmous folk qre buried is fascinqting too. Someone left a can of beer qt Jim Morrisons grave. The most movong part includes memorials to the French Resistance, qnd the concentration camps. We walked through Belleville, the very multicultural part of Paris. Many Africans and Middme East folks are here... this is also the current place of street art, community gardens, food coops, ane community organizing.

Paris is wonderful, but demands visits in cooler weather. Tomorrow we are off to  London. We plan to heqr the environmental writer George Monbiot speak tomorrow night and may not be able to post until Wednesday... see you then.
