Take a swim in the Seine

[Mik]

I will not touch Ohio River waters, so I sure as hell would not get in the Seine.

Well, sometimes people do go in-Seine.

It was closed to swimming today. It rained and the sewer system overflowed. Not surprisingly that raised bacteria counts big time.

Can't get to Paris? How about Chicago?

@Rontuner - are you going to walk over to the river to watch the swim?

[Rontuner]

We will be on our way to Door County for a little break! But MrsTuner was interested in watching.

Lots of fond memories of autumn trips up to the peninsula. Say hello to Door County for me.

Have fun!

Are you going to do any apple picking? Here's some info about u-pick orchards:

We used to buy apples and warm apple fritters at Richmond Orchards, but they closed quite a while back.

@wtg LOLOL
Maybe in a full survival suit and Scuba gear.

I skied the Mississippi River when I was a kid. I was skiing when my brother was pulling me in the big waves behind the barges and broke the boat in halves. Fun times when pollution was not a common word.

How were things on the peninsula??

Chicago? I'll take a tour. Paris, Chicago, London, New York.

On second thought, this grand swimming in polluted water tour would conflict with my busy schedule.

Maybe next year!
