Jeanne d'Arc at the
Places des Pyramides, in Paris
In my "Prayer to Joan of Arc" I didn't add this very special Joan of Arc, the one in the Place des Pyramides, in Paris. Yes, it is a little traitorous that I, who spent my primary and secondary education in beautiful England (see "bio" here), would shill for this French saint, who went to battle to fight the English!
But, remember, my first introduction to life outside of Ethiopia was beautiful Paris, where I spent a full six months before entering the beautiful Betteshanger (then called) School as a boarder (and would return every "1/2 term," every six weeks, to beautiful Paris for 1 week to three-month stays).
So, my first love is Paris. And the Catholic St. Joan is a testament to that!
Above is the bronze statue, where she is in full, stiff, armor.
And here is Parisian politics at its best.
