The Idiot, between visits to Los Angeles and Paris, was confronted with two weeks when the temperature regularly exceeded 100°F in Redding, CA. Not surprisingly he moved his basecamp to the shores of the Pacific Ocean where mid-July temps were usually below 70°F.
Baby Gaga, The Idiot’s 4.8-year-old granddaughter, and Baby Gogo, The Idiot’s 2.17-year-old grandson, began their odyssey from Los Angeles to Paris this morning via Montreal, Vermont, New York and the south of France.
Here are just a few things that The Idiot encounters when he walks downstairs and onto the street from his recently rented pied-à-terre near Luxembourg Gardens in Paris.
The Idiot, who lived in Paris for ten years and just rented a pied-à-terre near Luxembourg Gardens, always loved eating at the iconic La Tour d’Argent restaurant with its to-die-for view onto majestic Nôtre Dame Cathedral. No more. Both the cultural and the culinary treasure are shrouded in scaffolding and closed to the public. One because of fire, the other due to a massive reconstruction project.
The Idiot, who is preparing to write The Idiot and the Odyssey IV: Walking Beyond the Mediterranean Sea, dropped into Los Angeles for his grandson Baby Gogo’s second birthday in early May.
The Idiot and his visiting-from-France daughter Sonia didn’t see 1,365,895 places during the week they just spent playing and investing in Manhattan.
