Christmas ..! but do not feel it too?!
the city is waiting ... begin to turn on the lights in the windows, to appear in the decorations on the streets, on lampposts .. even the "mushroom cloud" near the university has tried to find a way to "make nice" with a garland to flashing lights at 20 feet height that greets me every morning when the fog across the lawn in the dark before the dawn ..
The city is crossed by the euphoria of the gifts, the Christmas markets, the lovers embracing on deck wood of the majestic Garonne, the scent of mulled wine and chocolate ... gauffres Jugglers and reggae groups vie for the attention of passersby with the trios of fisarminica, violin and double bass in the rue Sainte Catherine, river, motion, bustle, colors ... Where rue des Trois Conils meets rue Sainte Catherine, in front of the Galeries Lafayette, an old man sells roasted chestnuts guarded by a black mutt curled at his feet that smell good ... passed by ... That air of Christmas ...!
Place des Quinconces is occupied by an antiques market where sofas are associated with the nineteenth century bourgeois houses stuffed pheasants, a painted ceramic handles and turntables. Here and there one can see labyrinths of leather bound books: literary classics Scott, Balzac and the "Comedie Humaine," Stendhal and Hugo, Goldoni and Dostojevkij 1 to 3 € ...
... and we expect that the snow will not come ... but nice to walk in the drizzle along the streets of downtown towards home ...
