Woke up as I usually do, with an obscene amount of energy to start the day. It usually serves me pretty well, especially in Paris the days start out sunny and cloud over by 9 or 10. A little afraid of this, I set out without waking everyone up (it was before 7), leaving a note I hoped would allow us to meet. Unfortunatly it wasn't clear enough, but I had a pretty great time wandering by myself too. Walk down to the river, just happened to chance by Gehry's Tom and Ginger building, a cool post-modern building (whoa did i just say that?) but it fit in really well among the decorated flat houses along the river. impressive. The walk was really fun, in the sun and spring it was easy to see this had been the Bohemian playground of rich europeans - highly decorative buildings, Gothic and Baroque and Rococo... walking by myself along the very high river, barely anyone keeping me company on the streets. Crossing the Karlsbridge in the morning was a far different experience then later, beautiful morning light and mist and not crowded at all.... nice pictures with the streetlights still on
