New Backpack

Those of you who know my wife will not find it strange that we went out shopping for a new backpack this evening, despite the quantity that she has at home.  What was unusual is that this one was to be a genuine knapsack, rather than an urban book bag or glorified purse.  The niche that was not yet properly filled was for something that she could actually take hiking.  Since we are planning a short trip to the Swiss Alps in a few weeks, there is more than accessories at stake this time.

The selection and fitting took some time and effort, but in the end we got a very nice 25 litre day pack with many useful pockets and well-designed features.  Afterwards, I'm not sure if it was the difficulty of the task of purchasing it, the prospect of the arduous trail it's to assist with, or merely the proximity of the Boulevard St. Germain, but kir royales seemed like a good idea.

Hello! There's a familiar face or two. Oh how I wish I had offspring living in Paris - instead of Abbotsford. It just isn't fair!
