walked down different roads into the central part of town, not really following a map after initial orientation. beautiful narrow 'typical parisian streets' lined with stores (really narrow, one lane of parking and one for driving, if it wasn't blocked off entirely) once we branched off the kind of dumpy large street we were on. found out later that really isn't a tourist district at all, explains it. found the belmont tatoo area, about 15 stores down one street. some of the streets do seem to be mono-purposed like that, we also noticed a children's-clothing street, and i found the fabric street later. i'd like to again, some of the fabrics were very beautiful and unusual. saw the Centre Pompidou, by accident almost, looked around a corner and oops, we missed it. i was trying to aim for it, so at least i was close enough. was closed, as it is every tuesday, some big gas magnate throwing a party, MANY black-tie patrons and guards. got to talk to a geeky-cute foreigner to france, a struggle for both us to understand. talking = 5 sentences each maybe, but he was very pleasant.
