scouting ahead

we walked for about 7 hours today. first a trip out to le guingette pirate (gwing-et) to check out where okkervil is playing tomorrow (photos below), then we walked on the viaduct, which is this kind of elevated walkway/park that runs through several districts. the archways underneath are all occupied with various artisan businesses or restaraunts. kind of funny. we walked up the steps, and it opened into the big open field of grass, a small park on the left, and all the alcoves and side gardens all along. ridiculous. after that we kind of wandered around some more until my parents had to sign some documents at the lawyers regarding the apartment. like i said, we marched all day.

the sky was amazing today - it was near rain all day. the omminous clouds that europe is famous four. giant, brooding skys. you can kind of see it in a couple of the photos.
