This is a picture I took of my wheelchair and a Pharoah mime when we went to Paris in 2008 after I broke my leg. Larry and I went to Europe with the “full catastrophe.” Crutches, air cast, cane, and the wheelchair to whom we gave a name. Duncan. “Have you seen Duncan?” I asked my daughter in Dublin as I dragged myself up a set of stairs at Gogerty’s to hear a set. “Who’s Duncan,” my daughter replied. In Paris Larry bumped me up and down the streets. At some point I decided to document Duncan’s excursions. In fact there are very few pictures of me and Larry on that trip to Europe ten weeks after breaking my leg, but I have many of Duncan.
I have been in Paris like five times and it always amazes me, I mean the huge structure that is the Eiffel tower wow!
