Ah, Paris, The City of Lights


Again this falls into to the so cool category... me in Paris... I even had the opportunity to practice my French skills - it was rather strange how things started popping back into my head... stuff I did even know i new how to say... i could feel my brain making connections.

I have tons of pictures... I of course was there for work... but was able in my one day off to do some amazing things - thanks to the motivation of a collegue who dragged me from one end of the city to the other...thanks Kerry :-) and next time I am not falling for that "but look it is only this far on the map" crap... I like to support the taxi industry.

The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Champs de lyses... amazing... it is hard to take everything in in just one day... but wow we did see a lot.

The Tower was Huge


The Views Incredible












The Louvre - to see in person things I had only seen in books or on tv - the Mona Lisa ==>







The Sculptures captivated me the most...
such vision to see in a slab 'o rock

Champs de lyse


Okay, sometimes the angle is just right....
This cracked me up!
