I left the room at 5am with my Super 8 in hand to film the Parisian sunrise.It was really hard to keep up the facade that I meant to dress in sandals and a sleeveless shirt while I walked through Monmartre in the rain. The weather had been perfect the past couple days, and I thought it was dark out, because, well, it was 5am... not because there were rain clouds doing their thing, and doing it well.
The sun wouldn't be rising that day. And that was ok. Because I was in Paris, and if there are two things I love, it's being alone and public transit systems. So a quick change of plans, and a quick look at the map and I was on my [soaking wet] way.
I hopped on and off the Metro a couple of times, and happened across an umbrella along the way.
There was not a soul in sight, save a couple of dedicated joggers and a groundskeeper.
Just me, in the rain, standing beneath the Eiffel Tower, hoping that the rest of the world would sleep in that day.
