Crowds

This is a crowd of brightly colored birds at the bird market on the Ile de la Cite. Chuck wanted me to post about crowds in Paris. We've experienced this as well as read about it: people do NOT queue up in Paris. They stand around in a group, waiting for doors to open, whether for a bus, metro, or performance, and then they RUSH to get in. Don't be polite if you want to get a good seat at an open seating performance. Now that we've seen it first hand, we know what to expect and move with the crowd. It's just the norm!  mim golub scalin
