Tour the World with The Street Teacher
Click here to edit subtitle
We walked the George Washington Bridge last Spring - but I just returned from Paris where I went to show a friend the City of Light!
You all know I love New York, but I believe it's important to change one's point of view from time to time - and this early September seemed a great time!
First things first: We began our walk in Paris after a great lunch by discovering the Parc Luxembourg - and pictures had to be taken!
Posing Point: Yes, when the parc rangers allow it, the kids always sit in circles on the ground - and here at the park it was most wonderful on the grass. But, really, they were always on the ground - talking!
Would we walk this again? Of course!
PLEASE NOTE: The Street Teacher doesn't do walks in Paris regularly, but you can be assured that he has many photos and stories to share. What he does do is go out of the city - New York City, that is - fairly frequently, and would love to take you on his longer trips - that will be upcoming this fall!

WALK THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE TO BROOKLYN - Walking the Brooklyn Bridge may seem at first like a major undertaking - but remembering that New York Mayor William J.
