The friends I met (gave a cat face to a friend’s kid due to privacy issues but how incredibly lucky I am to have friends like this around the world?)

Montmartre at dusk is the most beautiful thing you can experience on earth.

It was amazing to be able to experience this.

I found a spot in Venice where I was just so lucky to be there.

I was so lucky to have had the chance to get to know Paris.

View from the Ligne 6 line from Dupleix to Bir Hakeim in Paris. Feels very cinematic with this Max Richter music.

Climbed a mountain or at least a very big hill in the Puy du Dôme region in France near Clermont Ferrand with my colleague Cederic Bouquet.

I was on a train from Clermont Ferrand to Paris during the eclipse.

Sunrise in Montmartre in Paris. I will always for the rest of my life be amazed and astounded that a friend offered me this opportunity to experience all of this.

Went yesterday to the Bourse de Commerce in Paris to see Fujiko Nakaya’s piece “Cloud 07156” in which the rotunda filled with clouds. It was amazing. Here is a timelapse…it was probably the best work of modern art I’ve experienced.

The pool at Butte Aux Cailles in Paris. They should be winning Olympic records going at these speeds!

I didn’t add sound to this video: there was a busker playing the violin on the car that I was on! Still has to be the best view from any train on earth.

Sad update, my beautiful Blini passed in her sleep. She had a number of health issues and a recent surgical procedure (that was necessary) plus the heatwaves were all too much. She passed quietly at night at home. Mimo is so far doing ok. Blini got me through many difficult times, I miss her dearly

This is mundane but Got my hair cut by a guy @chrisinparis.bsky.social suggested who is Arabic, doesn’t speak a word of English but has a cool shop with Budgerigar birds inside. Really nice guy who gives a great haircut in case you’re in need of one in Paris 9th / 18th…

Truly is the best station on earth. You have the 2 and the 4…where else do you need to go? 😹

Was here after having pho in Belleville. What a beautiful view of Paris! But is there any not beautiful view of Paris? 😹

Spent the afternoon with a former student Debrille who was in Paris for a day and is now a professor at the University of Washington! Gave a tour of Montmartre. Was great to reminisce and talk. She is working on amazing things. We also happened to have been born in the same hospital years apart!

Up the street some Spanish fans were celebrating in Paris…

Interesting - I was just walking by that very place in Montmartre. It’s also where Renoir made his famous painting!

Hung out at the Tuileries for a while watching the sun set over the Olympic torch and contemplating life. What an amazing city - you can see here Concord (where Louis XVI met his end) and the Arc de Triomphe in the distance.
