Cara, like Aimée, once had a moped and appreciates their tempermenal tendencies. She also, like Aimée, likes dogs and owns a Coton de Tulear Unlike Aimée, she has never owned an apartment on the Ile St. Louis but feels she will someday when the lottery smiles on her. She loves black and white photography and took many of the photos on this website--but not this one. Dennis Hearn, a prominent North Beach photographer ,was bribed with several lattes to spend his afternoon doing this.
