Taking Paris Head on

Despite Joel getting a case of the attack of Jacques Chirac (intestinal flu), we walked at least 15 miles around Paris. From Montparnasse to Pompideu Centre to Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower, we saw a lot but left several key tourism destinations for our return trip. With the knowledge that we gained this time, we are sure to be dangerous on the next trip.

It's a good thing we both can speak French. We found the French people to be very warm, cordial, helpful and nice. So often as we would begin with "Parlez-vous Angles?" the response would come back "A little," but then most of the discussion would be in English, sprinkled with a good dose of French. We had a great time!
