The sisters are here!
We have a jam-packed week ahead. Second and third sisters are here and we are shopping up a storm. No time to chat, so NY diaries will have to wait.
In other news, our car got broken into two Sundays ago. Just outside Le Jardin d'Acclimatisation. They stole a windbreaker, fortunately they missed out on the GPS system. Be careful yah!
So sorry to hear about that! What a pain...
Have fun with your sisters!

That is nasty, and they did it for a windbreaker? Would understand if there is a cash card reader. Have fun with your sisters and my regards to them and the Bordeaux visiting gang.

SUi Mai: It was not that bad, the car company fixed it for free. Seems like this kind of thing happens not infrequently.
Ariaa: Thanks, we're glad it wasn't worst.
Parisienne Maman, we parked about 300m from the entrance where the little train departs.
ttc, I don't think it was for the windbreake though that would have helped them get through glass and maybe pry open the door to get to better stuff. Since it was pretty open for people to see, maybe the thieves ran out of time and made off with whatever they could.

That was horrible and sorry that they chose to attack where there are many families with children around.
Have you tried the Sunday brunch in the Jardin, btw?
And have a great time with the sisters!!! Envy envy...

This has nothing to do with your car, sorry to see it happen but you have done a great job with your blog and great pixs.. What do you use for a camera and lens?

Beaulotus, no I haven't but it's a good suggestion about the brunch. There are so many attractions for children there.
MJP, most of the time I use a simple Canon Ixus 850IS. At home and sometimes when I am on holiday and husband will carry my camera bag I use an Olympus E330 with either standard lens, a cheapo macro (3.5) lens or a long lens.
