Paris again

Video from my 15-minute walk to work at Arrow ECS, near La Defense in Paris ... view of the river, the Isle de Grand Jatte (definitely an "If you have to ask you can't afford it" neighborhood) and some luxury houseboats:

Here I'm following the "if you're not sure where you're going, follow traffic until you find something" tactic.

Finally!

The sun came out solidly today and it was a great time to go check out the Westerpark near me ...

Over the hedge to the right is the dog park section, great idea to keep dogs from bugging other people.

Antwerp Central

Had an hour to wait switching trains in Antwerp ... nice little station with platforms on 3 levels and a mall in the middle ...

 What kind of mall, you ask?  It's Antwerp, so ...

Time to kill in Lille

Missed one train and had to wait a couple hours for the next one to Antwerp (and on to Amsterdam) ... fortunately there are about half a dozen bars across the street from the train station and I could sit outside and enjoy the wait.

Lille

Nice opera house!

How could you not have a beer at La Liberte?  Quiet little neighborhood place, I don't think anyone spoke a word of English ... nice cold Amstel, though!
