Would you rather climb up its neck and slide out its butt??

So very well put, Tine. The lack of choice on the part of those poor prisoners, and the choices made by all those responsible for what happened there, are so hard to comprehend. I can only imagine that witnessing such a place puts the very
nature of human choice into sharp relief.

Glad you got there safe and sound. FYI...The King and Queen of the Netherlands are here in Chicago today. Maybe they will be back in time to have you over for dinner when you are in their country.

I would find it interesting to go to a church service of any kind being done in a different language. You don't have to understand anything to appreciate the sentiment. And I am glad you are finding things to eat. I would like any of the
items you had....they sound delicious!!

Very insightful observations. Sadly, there are many places in the world where this is true today.

It is very difficult to reconcile the pictures of a peaceful landscape and beautiful sky with what went on there.

And there are people who still say it never happened. Those people need to visit these places and see them for themselves.....but I fear they would still say it never happened.

I can really relate to the desire to sleep on the plane! I can't do that either. But congratulations on the short flight. Your apartment/hotel sounds great. Looking forward to hearing all abut your adventures. Auntie M

What a perfect first day! I admire your ambition, but I too find that the best thing to do for jet lag is to walk. (And eat of course!) Also, it is exciting to discover fascinating and beautiful things that you never had any idea you were
looking for. Auntie M

Dagnabit your mom beat me to it with her question about the eternal flame!In Mexico, a lot of places charge extra if your want to take pictures, and more still if you want to take videos.

Well that explains the history of why the soldier is there but it doesn't really say why the flame is relit every night. An eternal flame is supposed to be eternal...not lit every day.

You are having such a wonderful trip!I have heard Mona, the Victoire, and Venus referred to as "the three babes."Those stairs up the Arche look like an escargot! When Marty and I were there, we were directed to the elevator 'cause we were
OLD.

Why do they have to relight the eternal flame every night? Isn't it supposed to be eternal? Sounds like you are getting to see a lot of great things. And Renee is getting her legs in shape for that big climb up the Hancock in February.
What did you have at the George V cafe??

Well, I don't know about fit, but we are certainly sore. I don't know how our mileage count can be off. I mean the pedometer is not 100% accurate but we have done a ton of walking.

Climbing those stairs was good practice for Renee for when she does the Hancock climb! Sounds like you had a good day.
