Theme: Fishing Trips
This fascinates me. I have seen people actually catch fish and one time I saw a guy packing up to go home and he took the fish with him. I still regret not asking him if he was going to eat it (when you see how icky the canal is you will understand my bewilderment). Also, since you can now rent boats on the weekend to go rowing there are some tense moments when novice rowers get too close to the fishing lines!
Equipment: Bring your fishing equipment!

Lovely look at your hometown, Emily. Loved the restaurant tips, and the Ag Fair sounds interesting as well... sausagemakers, winemakers, cheesemakers. Merci. :) | glabah Wed Feb 18, 2009 20:43 UTC
What wonderful photos of Paris! What a wonderful view to have when you wake up. You were featured on the VT home page when I logged in, and I'm glad I stopped by to see what you had. | nyperose Wed Oct 1, 2008 16:58 UTC
I love your Paris pages. I used to live in Belleville when I was studying French more than 20 yrs ago. Your page brought back old memories:-D | tiabunna Wed Apr 30, 2008 07:27 UTC
Paris VT pages are always enjoyable, you're fortunate to live there. Now you have posed a problem for me: to next visit during the Agricultural Fair or the Salon du Chocolat! :)) |
