With the need for exercise ticking at my thoughts and the gorgeous
spring days of Paris calling to me, I decided to pick up a pair of
inline skates to experience the city in a whole new way. Donning the
proper protective gear on my wrists, I have taken on the task of
learning to rollerblade in this fine city. I have to say that there
may be no better place, nor more challenging to take on such a task.
The cobblestone streets and pavé that are intermittently placed along
most paths are sure to stop your heart every 50 meters or so. It's a
really nice way to get some more intensive exercise than just
walking. So this afternoon, I write this post from Pont Neuf (a
famous bridge... See the Bourne Identity), sitting above the Seine and
soaking in the Sun.
It's sure to be a hot summer here in Paris, but hopefully it will also
be tons of fun... On wheels even!
I've always loved skating, but turning and/or stopping have never been my strong suits... kinda makes the experience less than the best...
Have a great time buddy! It's great to see your face!
