Well, I just arrived at my hotel in Paris a little while ago. Since I will 
be in a conference all day tomorrow and Thursday until I have to head for 
the airport Thursday afternoon, my only opportunities for photos will be 
after dark (which is around 5 p.m. this time of year up here). So I brought 
my X100, and already while walking from the RER to my hotel I got a nice 
view of the Seine with the Eiffel tower in the distance.

Now heading back to the city to meet up with Tarek. His challenge for 
tonight is to find a place with good beer AND polite waiters--HA!

Cheers,
Nathan
