....I'll get back to Russia in a couple of days.

In the mean time, Steve and Yoshimi arrived on Saturday, and we have been busy getting them acquainted with our new neighbourhood, and with Paris.

Today we did a walking tour from the Lonely Planet, through the covered shopping arcades in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements.



We stopped occasionally for refreshments, of course.
