Christ, here I am again—in my corner seat of the Ibis, watching the trams & buses rolling in & out of Gare du Midi station. The memories. Back then I did not know of Le Coin, or Fifth Avenue, or even Ciné Paris. Incredible to think all that time I used to spend in Brussels, the only jollies I ever got here were in the Rue d’Aerschot. What I was missing out on!
