So you say you reside in a landlocked city?

Its august in Paris (I actually wrote Vancouver,
and then had to change it..it came out automatically!)
which means,
that the city is invested with tourists,
yet at the same time been completely abandoned by its residents.
Walking around feels mildly surreal,
especially during the morning rush hour,
which is no longer so rushy.
But I'm happy, it means I get a seat on the metro,
can chill out to read,
and not worry about toppling over at every herky-jerky bend.

But more over,
it being august in Paris,
its Paris Plage time!
Every August, the city transforms
the left bank of the Seine into a boardwalk, beach paradise!
Chaise lounges, sand, stripey umbrella's,
pools for goodness sake, and this year,
Sleeping Beauty's castle out of sand.
I'm heading down there after work today,
and I'm so stoked to check it out.
