Mandounette's fruitless search for batteries 

So, I have gotten many requests for more pictures on my site and I promise you all that I really hope to turn Mandounette into a sparkling, visual spectacle soon. I even brought my camera out with me yesterday. Picnicking on the banks of the Canal St. Martin, the trees changed from the yellow-green of spring to their mature summer color, the bridges and benches filled with young people, drunk on wine. A funny guy jumping into the canal for the low, low price of 16 euros. A beautiful view (right: Le Pantheon, left: La Tour Eiffel) from a friend's balcony. Lots of drunken smiles. All of it was to be captured and retransmitted on Mandounette, but alas, it is Paris and there is not a bodega or Duane Reade on every corner. So after a half-hour of searching for place that was open at 9pm selling batteries, we had to give up. I tried to take a photo, but the camera wasn't having it. But soon, I promise, soon, I will share some images with you. Here is a little photo essay on my life since New York to tide you over.
