it was raining in paris
my morning flight from bologna to paris was canceled, and the waiting time at paris became 8 hours. well, it's my policy to change bad luck to good luck. i decided to treat myself a mini vacation in paris. as soon as i arrived at de gaulle airport, i went outside.
i managed to contact a friend of mine and made an appointment to see him in his office. i took a train from the aiport to the center of the city.
this was my second visit to paris. last time it was one of the coldest winters ever; this time it was freezing and raining. well, am i lucky or what?
i'm not cold-resistent. i walked quickly from the station to my friend's office. after the nice reunion, i walked quickly back to the station. then, i saw these tiles shining under the rain. i'm not cold-resistent, but i could resist for a few min. to take some shots.
