Summer's starting

Yesterday we had our first real day of heat and sun. After talking to some of the guys I was lead to believe that this is the beginning of summer. Apparently its usually in the 90's and higher here in June and July, but fortunately theres a river about 15 minutes from my house where people go to swim. Within in an hour I can be at the beach on the Mediterranean.  Pics today are of a statue of Charlemagne near Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe.
