    Oh the miserable heat, but love the captivating cemetery shots. Heating up here again after a few pleasant days.

      I’m worried about my little patio.

        I leave tomorrow for the coast, but would be glad to check on your plants before heading out.

          So sweet of you to offer, but not to worry. If they don’t make, they can be replaced! we have a sprinkler system but just 3 days per week.

    Sixty bucks at a local inn for one night of air conditioning?

      More like a $100-125 for one night even in a 2-star.

    Linda & Bernie,
    Wonderful cemetery and photos! I would love just a tour of Paris cemeteries in cooler weather some day.
    BTW: I saw green toenails AND fingernails this week here in Huntsville. Does not look any better there in Paris to me! Bah! 😛

    Love the fern print on your dress. Fern seems to be big in Paris right now. We saw it on dresses, tops, skirts, rompers and pants!

    Wow, we thought it was hot while we were there for two weeks at the beginning of July. Our apartment was a sauna too. They provided us with one fan, but it wasn’t enough, so off to Castorama for an additional one. I have noticed though that there is more air conditioning than there was the last time I was in Paris in July. I could actually feel the cool air in some of the department stores (prior if there was air, it was so minimal it was almost pointless), and I found more and more small shops and boutiques with the floor model a/c units with a white tube pointed out their door. Would have loved to have one of those in our little apartment!

      I bought the fern-print dress when I thought my luggage was lost forever. Paid 23 euros for it! My kind of Paris shopping. Yes, our landlady promised that we would have air conditioning this year; instead we have two new fans. Hardly does the trick but you’re right about cooler atmospheres in places like Les Galeries Lafayette, etc.

    Don’t think you’re crazy at all to go to a place with a fair bit of shade on such a day. Good on you and lovely photos of a lovely place. Of course I would be delighted to go with you sometime to a few of my favourites there 🙂

    Seems long ago you were in chilly temps in Norway!

    Blue nail polish is the color of choice in Minneapolis after the corals and reds!
    Green much less popular! Ha ha

    We’d turn our air conditioning down another couple of degrees while we sleep tonight in your honor, but we don’t think that it would help you. :O)

    Your cemetery photos were very interesting and enjoyable as well. I’m most impressed with your cute shoes. I could no more walk all over Paris in anything that cute. It would be tennis shoes for me.
