Watch out, this entry is gonna be long... Where I really went after I left England was Paris. Now, I've never been very excited about Paris. When I think of Paris, I think of food that I can't afford and probably don't want to eat (such as foie gras and escargot) and clothes that I can't afford and probably don't want to wear. However, Paris is kind of a requisite for having a well-rounded kno... Read Full Entry

sunning like lizards

it was so cold and cloudy most of the time we were in paris that whenever the sun came out we were totally overjoyed. so we spent sometime just sitting in the sun (like "lizards", as chris said). but i was still cold.

HA!
I love (louvre) that you took a picture of that creepy pederasty statue! Nice to know that I've made an impression. ;) Also, I'm so glad that you enjoyed Paris, too! I think the French must be trying to reverse their bad reputation or something. Everybody was super nice to me, despite how dumb I was.

ha! I love the guy's form fitting armor. Paris sounds wonderful - i'm sure it has the potential to allow everyone to have their own interpretations and experiences.

Paris, je t'aime!
You knew I couldn't resist this blog! I miss Paris! You did a wonderful job taking pictures and looked very cute by the way! I'm glad you only met nice people (there are still a few around that haven't figured out tourism is what makes there city run). You hit a lot of the good spots. PS that street is champs elysees with all the stores. It's where the tour de france ends and stuff. So many of your pictures used to be everyday sights to me - like that big fountain was near our school. Oh, and I think I have sunned in that same spot in Luxembourg Gardens. Funny story - this girl on my trip who tried to always speak in French and was generally a know-it-all got in trouble for trying to sun in her bathing suit in those gardens! What was she thinking! Love you! Glad you are having a good time!
