I managed to upload some more photos shot on my phone when we have been out and about in Paris, as the 4G data service I get when roaming town is much faster than the hotel wifi. A few more shots that I would have included in the earlier post..

One more panorama from Gordes

[![The inside of the main church in Gordes. The big crack in the upper center (between the pairing and the blue) is from a 1909 earthquake (or at least that's what my rusty French read)](https://ramblings.klempay.com/content/images/2016/05/IMG_20160519_112423.jpg?resize=525%2C393&ssl=1)](https://ramblings.klempay.com/content/images/2016/05/IMG%5F20160519%5F112423.jpg?ssl=1)

More Roussillon

[![Roussillon seemed to have lots of doors in blue; Kelly liked this very faded one on a church](https://ramblings.klempay.com/content/images/2016/05/IMG_20160519_153407.jpg?resize=525%2C702&ssl=1)](https://ramblings.klempay.com/content/images/2016/05/IMG%5F20160519%5F153407.jpg?ssl=1)

We’ve now been in Paris for a few days, and have some others pictures queued up to include in posts as well. It’s actually been raining most of the time that we’ve been in Paris, so I have been leaving my big camera in the room (no sense walking around with a rain-cover-sealed backpack all day), relying on the phone camera mostly.
