Hi Alastair and Helen!

Great place!, be careful, such places becomes quite dangerous when 
Louis XVI..... 

Enjoy Paris!

Asunto: [Leica] A Firkin in Paris

Bonjour to you all, 
I have survived the 34 or so hours it took to journey to Paris, and am 
sitting in my room opposite the Notre Dame gardens, listening to Helen 
gently snoring. Bugger of a trip really. Held up in Singapore for 3 
hours, delayed in Paris AFTER LANDING for one hour, then collected 3 
out of the 4 checked in pieces: missing tripods, streetshooters, 
adaptors for power and running shoes ;-) Now we have to hope that Air 
France can deliver the bag in the next couple of days before the Nokia 
dies (recharger is in the bag!!!1)

Just to start off the diary, I've made a LUG gallery for some images, 
and posted the first one: our view of Notre Dame from the front window, 
taken with the Dior M8 and 35mm lens, with its "new" IR filter (thanks 
Marty):
