"And another thing, never a briefcase in Paris and never an umbrella. There's a law."~ Sabrina Fairchild
Not quite sure about Paris quite yet since it fortunately hasn't rained while I was actually in Paris, but it sure seems to be the case in Creil. Lots of people here just walk out in the rain, perhaps with a hood on, but for the most part, umbrella-less. And here I am in my coat and scarf and gloves and golf sized umbrella which I so happen to adore. Only French umbrellas are half the size of mines. And not to mention, their sidewalks are half the size of American sidewalks too! (ok, perhaps a gross exaggeration but they're definitely smaller.)
So to blend with the locals (as best a foreigner can) I should probably take Sabrina's words of wisdom right? I'll forgo the briefcase (backpack in my case) but I don't think I'll let go of the umbrella. brr..
