Which is one of the great things about traveling to a different culture. If you lived in Paris, this is a scene you might have walked by a thousand times. But for me, watching the ducks crawl up on the cobblestones by the Seine, and these kids on their way to school trying (and I say trying) to catch them… all very exotic to me.
Then their mother came running towards them – scaring off the ducks (or are they geese, or is their a difference) and speaking so fast I only caught a few words – but she was very clear about one thing: they were late for school and they were too old for this sort of nonsense.
A wonderful image. Thanks to the unusual viewpoint, we see the boy and the ducks in a totally different relationship to the cobblestones.
As we say in Paree, formidable!
