Branch Hike and Paris

Just a quick post: Branch hike at the Beaver Dams (apparently, beavers became extinct in Germany, and were re-introduced in the 70s or 80s)

I went to Paris for work: it was crazy and I didn't get enough sleep, but I had some good views (the bottom two are views from my hotel rooms)

I even was able to plan some good old fashion tourist activities.  It was really a fly-by trip, but didn't cost me a cent.
