I LOVE French Parking

Well, to start off, I have to say how much of a kick I get out of the tiny French cars, especially the Smart Cars. They are really incredibly small. And then there's French parking. I have no idea of how they manage to get their cars in the tiny spaces, let alone getting out again. Here is a short series of shots from Lyon to illustrate.

First, you see Car 1 (blue), Car 2 (red), and car 3 (white).


Next, Car 2 and Car 3 getting up close and personal.

Then the real kicker. Is that legal? I especially enjoy the fact that you can see that Car 1 is a Peugeot.

I guess they must all arrive in order and leave in reverse order. There really isn't any other way. But I have watched some people do some amazing parallel parking jobs since I got here.

Finally, a post!

Ok, I don't really know where to start, so I guess I'll begin with my first pictures and try to get caught up eventually. Let the pictures begin:

This is me on the Pont Lafayette in Lyon. Behind me is the the Premier Arrondisment and the Croix Rousse hill, which is where I stayed for several days.

Oooookay, this program only wants to put pictures in the start of the post and I'm getting frustrated so I guess I'm done for now. I'll fight it later.
