All alone--mostly

Usually, when you go on holiday, you try to be with others, or a significant other, or a group. It usually makes the trip more enjoyable. Me, on my trip to Paris, I was alone. Except for my ex-colleague and his dog, who gave me shelter for three nights. (He leaves in a typically Parisian flat with a typically Parisian elevator.)

You can cover a lot of ground solo, but it's not the same as spending the day in the Louvre, admiring not just the art, but the building itself and its opulence. Or sit in a cafe--outside--and watch the parade of people march and saunter and pedal by, remarking on their clothes.

Solo is ok, but it's better to share the experience.
