Paris in review

I went back and added pictures to my blog entries while I was in Paris.  I think the pictures make the story more interesting and relevant.

Now that I’ve switched to new software for my blog, I can collect related stories into groups.  All my Paris entries are now available as Paris2006.

It was a nice trip, I greatly appreciated seeing the Louve and Sacre Coeur, and other such grand buildings.  The architecture was really nice.  If there’s a next time, I’ll have to do better on the food front; I mostly went to the wrong places.  I’ll also have to budget more next time, living in Europe as a tourist is expensive!

A serenade home

I’m on the RER train to the Charles de Gaulle airport now, and a lady witha stereo and a mic on a mini-cart came in and started serenading us with music and song. She then asked for donations after a few songs. Talk about a captive audience!

She’s not bad, although I’m too close to the speaker for comfort.

The last meal in Paris: never happened

This time I’m sure: the restaurant that I intended to go to no longer exists! It has been replaced by another! Sadly, due to my slavish loyalty to my travel guide map, it took me 45 minutes to discover this fact. On a strict schedule for my flight tomorrow, I was unable to venture far afield.

After the travel guide’s recommended cafe turned out to be packed on a Saturday night (go figure, huh), I finally lodged myself at a Japanese restaurant.

Run by Chinese. Sigh. I should’ve followed the example of the Japanese tour groups to another restaurant I had marked.

Still, food is food, especially in my hungry state!
