No sun in the morning but that may change later in the day. Went to the market late in the morning after breakfast. It's only two blocks. Very convenient. And always something to see, as well as buy. Bought some fruit and vegatables for the next few evening meals. In the photos is a stand that sells only lettuces and greens. The other has everything.
Have you ever wondered how people move in and out of apartments in Paris what with the narrow stairways and small elevators? We had known how it was done but this afternoon we came across a moving company in action. They send a kind of automated ladder up the side of the building to the proper floor and them move items up or down. The photos below show the process. The crew at the top watched me take pictures and waved and gave me the high sign at the end. They were as much interested in the photography as we were of the moving process.
Here is the setup ready to go.
The crew awaits the arrival of the first load and the owners watch the procedure.
The first load is ascending awaited by the crew.
The load arrives at the top and the crew member gives the OK signal.
These photos were taken in the late afternoon after tea at the l'Europeen Cafe on the Boulevard Diderot just across from the Gare de Lyon. See you tomorrow.
