Paris under water

As you have probably read in the news, Paris is experiencing its worst flooding in 30 years. France's rainfall levels in May were the highest since 1873 and while the Seine maybe dropping, the forecast for the week is still rain, rain and more rain.

While you can probably find crazier pictures online, I snapped a couple on my way out on Thursday. The first one is square de Vert-Galant on Île de la Cité - or what used to be it. At this time of year people are usually hanging out in this square having picnics and enjoying the traffic on the river. 

The other is where a walkway used to be beside one of the boat companies that normally offers tours down the river. Now the boats can't even pass under the bridges!

With that, I am up to date on the blog. Coming up, but probably delayed, will be the Euro Cup, more of Mexico, and Greece - stay tuned!
