Packing Lists: Changeable Weather - Pack an Umbrella

    • Miscellaneous: I'd advise packing a small travel umbrella. The weather in Paris, even in the summer, was very changeable -- incredibly hot and muggy one day, cool and rainy the next. The only umbrellas we could find in the shops were luxury men's brollies priced at 42 Euros, or golf umbrellas, much too wide to fit on the narrow sidewalks, so we ended up walking in the rain.

    I also wished that I had brought a 24-hour digital watch, which would have saved me the trouble of translating opening times and train timetables in my head.

     I've never read your pages before -- and your Paris page is excellent! We already have our place booked with the Eiffel Tower view. It will be hard to wait until next year ....

     I think Many Farms was the big town we went to if the trading post didn't have what we needed.
