Bats and rats in a tourist trap-
There was litter, smelly streets, drunks, arguments by drunks and otherwise...
Crowds, humid heat, sudden showers.
All this is true but I will choose to remember all the hours of conversation avec mon ami Theodore.
The best sort of conversation, easy, familiar- with laughter and understanding.
I will remember that my friend Nanou went out of her way just to have dinner and to chat into the late night hour.
I will omit any possibly more torrid details.
Because Paris is that large of an experience that one can fit and omit so much content yet still have rich remains.
