Does this photograph look out of focus to you? Our automatic camera, wielded by Leonie, a Dutch student
who was sitting at the next table, focused on the bar behind us. It doesn't really matter.... After a
transatlantic flight, bus tour of the city, hotel check-in and dinner, we were feeling as unfocused as we appear
here. As the rest of our group wandered off on a walking tour, this little café offered us the chance to sit
back with a few glasses of vin blanc and let Paris come to us. (photograph © 1995, Michael J. Valinis) |
