The last two days I was in Paris for visiting Joomla! Day France. I took the TGV from Perpignan to Paris. The trainride is amazing. Behind Perpignan until Bezier (around an 1 hour) only Etangs. On the right and the left side you see many different birds (Red Flamingos), old french houses and vineyards.
Behind Nimes the TGV reaches 250 km/h and after 3 hours I arrived in Paris. The train ends at Gare de Lyon. One of the nicer train stations in the world with the restaurant Train Bleue. It was sunny and warm in Paris.
In the afternoon I relaxed together with Isa at the canal Martin near her flat. We watched people & planned the future.
After 6 pm I worked on the french translation of my german Joomla! book.
Two new chapters are now on line readable.
Sunday morning at 7:30 (I love Paris at 7:30) I took the Metro to Bagnolet. When I left the station there was a flea market which started slowly (Place Edith Piaf).
The Joomla! Day France was fully booked (around 200 people). I have talked to several people (may be we will get the Joomla book in spanisch on line ) and Patricia from Pearson France. She gave two books as a gift for the organizers.
At Joomla! Day I only joined the lunch und one workshop, both were very interesting. At the Workshop, Valérie Isaksen (alatak) introduced Virtuemart 1.1. It runs with Joomla! 1.5 and seems to be a good piece of software.
After the workshop I was a bit in a hurry to get my TGV.
In the meantime it was very pleasent, warm & sunny and it ist a good feeling driving with the Metro to Gare de Lyon with its palm trees, drink a Café Créme at Train Bleue, buy something to eat & drink for the journey and enter the TGV to Perpignan.
Now, I am working since three hours on the translation and Dreamweaver is crashed (with around 30 Minutes unsaved changings ... *grmpf*). So I thought - write a blog entry 
(Oh, by the way - the Cube has reached 151 Euros!)
