In case it may be my last chances to use my roller blades in Paris, I take an effort to brave the cold (1deg) to visit Paris on rollers. 2 weeks ago, I had Julien's company but today I was alone.
It was a bad bad idea to decide to blade to join some friends who were shopping for boots at Victor Hugo... You have no idea how scary it was to cross the Porte Maillot circus and how dangerous to go up-hill on Malakoff pavement to Place de Victor Hugo.
Surviving all these I thought I would be fine on the shopping street at Ave Victor Hugo BUT! complacent me abrupty fell with a loud thud on the pavement while trying to identify the boutique my friends were in :(
Now, I have this huge bruise on my left buttocks. Thank god I was fully covered with triple layer outer wear and was saved from any superficial wounds.
After the shopping, the drinks and dinner. I took the metro with my roller blades as I didnt want to risk another fall. In the metro, no one cared that I was in blades as some people were even bringing their dogs and bicycles. What a free country :)
