Paris in the the Spring

Paris was the venue for my 0x28'th birthday blowout. Took part in the all-day-every-day scrum in the Louvre. Checked out some colour coded plumbing (my favourite kind) by Pompidou and had superlative Moules et Frites chez Leon. Highly recommended Belgian fare in Paris in the the Spring. (Excellent lighting fixtures too.)
