I've done a lot of sitting in parks, it's actually one of my favorite things to do in France. I love people watching, and it seems that people here love to spend time in their parks. Considering that it's only a day in the park everyone is very stylish, especially the children (I've seen some of the coolest kids clothing stores here.)
Anyway, the kids here seem very curious about me...little one year olds toddle up to me as I'm sitting on my bench...they show me the leaf they have in their hands, or point to a bird and smile, or just stare at me a bit until their parents call them back. The slightly older boys especially seem to take an interest in me (they start young!)...they'll do tricks like hitting rocks with sticks or cartwheels (seriously) and I'll applaud them before they go running off to find their mum.
It's all too cute.
