Off on my travels

Time for a holiday and I'm off to Paris again. I'm all ready for some serious walking ... at least as far as the nearest Metro station!


"Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

Mon enfant! I give you my hand!
I give you my love, more precious than money,
I give you myself, before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me? 
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"

(Walt Whitman - from Song of the Open Road)
