1. Eleanore: People kiss a lot...under bridges, on the sidewalks, in the metro and in restaurants.
2. Frances: There are lot of people asking for money...one person pretended to find a gold ring and wanted to share the news with us, hoping we might want to buy it. I only want to only give money to people who play music, a trombone player, an accordian player, a little flute.
4. Eleanore: In the Louvre, the artists made some mistakes, like Michelangelo sculpted a neck that was a little too big for the shoulders; and another sculptor sculpted a man slicing off the dragon heads with a CLUB (huh?); all the pre-Rennaissance paintings all had mistakes in perspective.
5. Jeff: If you plan to be a model in Paris, you must be 6'3" and be made of bones and skin.
6. Eleanore: There are a lot of people on the streets selling mini-Eiffel Towers; don't stop to browse.
7. Eleanore: If you don't want to look American, be colorless; you see, the french wear black. A lot of black. I could find my mom and dad easily. They were the only ones on the streets in blue and orange.
8. Frances: The fashion model's shoes were really big; look for them 'cause they look COOL!
9. Carolyn: sleep until 11:30 a.m. Try it. Just once. It's pretty unreal.
10. Jeff: Climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe for a sweet view of Paris (and because you can count the hundreds of steps...up AND down).

those are exciting pictures and very accurate accounts of parisian life, i suppose.
ReplyDeletethe "nevers" are implanted for grompy's and my next trip.
i feel like the shoes are a must for me, however; as i believe i have stopped growing and will not reach 6'3".
do not discard your colored dress code, as the french are not to be relied upon for fashion when it comes to color.
sleeping until 11:30am is a very good choice when accompanied by an all night soiree with your husband in the nearby bars.
keep it up, you beautiful americans!!!!
