Jardin du Luxembourg

Jardin du Luxembourg

The sun is still nurturing the soil with it's warmth, but all the brown leaves barely holding on to the branches of the chestnut trees are already announcing the arrival of autumn.

After leading of with the single most poetic sentence I've ever written down or even thought of. I guess my first visit to the “Jardin du Luxembourg” can be summed up with just a few quick observations:

1. I don't think I've ever seen pigeons that fat, and I've been to Venice!
   
   
2. It's incredible how many people have the time to go for a run at 11:30am. They are like herds of buffaloes
   
   
3. The only place more packed than the running track and all the cafes is the McDonald’s in between them.
   National Pride? Not so much!
   
   
4. Oh yeah! The park is really beautiful.
