She's up to running in a snow suit but I think skating will have to wait until next year. <br /><br />Glad to hear that there's a little bit of winter in Paris, Patricia!Mary Soderstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265519935852076762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273302883043906742.post-5344703194482495142012-01-09T03:16:24.741-05:002012-01-09T03:16:24.741-05:00There is a skating rink in front of the Hotel de V...There is a skating rink in front of the Hotel de Ville in Paris. It's small and usually crowded in the afternoon. Last Saturday, the ice was pretty watery. But I spent a good 10-15 minutes looking at the skaters and smiling. There was a kids class ending with a chasing game and a song I didn't know, but that seemed a classic for everybody.<br /><br />This improbable rink really is a nice oasis in the city's craziness.patriciahttp://patoudit.netnoreply@blogger.com
