The Lights of Paris

On the way back from the US, we had to spend a few nights in Paris as the Desert Rat had some work there. Here are a couple of night shots that he took, showing off how pretty the city can look at night.

Street Art in Brooklyn

There was lots of street art around where were staying which I thought was pretty cool.

Flatiron and Matt Damon

So, we go for a wander to see the Flatiron building and there are all these people in the park with security guys stopping anyone getting too close. We asked what was happening to be be told that they were filming the new Matt Damon movie. Of course we asked whether Matt was there, and we were told yes but we couldn't actually see him. Not to worry, we did stick around to see them filming a short scene where a bloke chases a bus. Aah, the glamour of Hollywood!

The very narrow Flatiron Building

Where is Matt Damon??

Central Station

No trip is complete without a visit to a railway station (well on the Desert Rat's holidays, anway). Central Station is not only massive, it is also quite beautiful and we enjoyed wandering around (and it was warm!!).
