Paris sevärdheter i all ära. Kulturnisse till trots, så är man djupast i själen en sportfåne. +8 grader (det har varit 14-22 hela tiden innan), hällregn, INGEN Ibrakadabra ...inte ens på bänken :( Antiklimax? Nej, bästa live-matchen jag någonsin sett. Och då kan jag jämföra med italienska ligan, engelska, landslaget , OS samt naturligtvis allsvenskan. Dom sprang ut till Nirvanas klassiska "Entertain us". Och underhöll oss var precis vad dom gjorde under 90 minuter. Jag satt på rad 7, nästan i knät på spelarna, och bjöds på konstant offensiv , en målfest och ett enormt liv på läktarna. Fransmännen älskar sina spelare. **************************** Under denna tid bodde jag på mitt femte hotell i Paris, nära place de la Trocadero.

We approached the tower and found the names of celebrities inscribed on the façade of the tower. There were indeed millions of people queuing up for the tower. We walked through the park towards Ecole Militaire’s building. My mother remembered the viewpoints for the Eiffel Tower, which ... read more

Paris Our week in Paris is off to a pretty good start! We're staying in little apartment in the Marais district. It's very close to Place de la Bastille and central to a lot of sights we plan to see. We couldn't ask for a better location. In terms of space it's a little "cozy", but I think that's a fair trade off for the location. We're really getting a feel for what it's like to live in Paris. Our fist day was pretty light in activity; we got settled in, Charlotte went to the local Monoprix store to get some groceries and went out to dinner at neighborhood restaurant called Page 35. It's a pretty casual, bistro type place that seem to be popular with the locals. The host was friendly and overall it was ... read more
