Well boys and girls, its the weekend, and I have decided to see what else was close by that would be different. Across the water is this country they call France, and if I remember, my family once started off here, so I figured. why not stop and say hello. Problem is, I don't speak French, and the only ones here who speak English are waiters and bartenders ! Which may or may not be a bad thing. Lets see what they have here, that Key West doesnt offer.
In case you don't know this already, and for future use....when in Paris, do not stand in the middle of the street to take a picture of a landmark, without a lookout ready to pull you to safety. My tip of the day.
I guess someone thought it a good idea to put up this erector set tower thing right in the middle of Paris. Nice I guess, dont know if any of you have seen this thing before. But here it is. The people appear to like it.

Well what can you say.....its really, really big !
Sorry, a little side trip here for those of you who like this sort of thing....this is the place where Lady Diana ended her last car ride.....I wanted to find the grave of Jim Morrison, however, I had to settle for this. Not even close is it ?
Doing my part to keep the big iron thing steady and not fall over. Just being a good American.
Oh, I found the French Army...they were driving around trying to find someone to surrender to.
Well, even I have to admit, this is something. Evening in Paris, with this as a background. Dinner at a sidewalk cafe, a little wine....I don't care who you are, this is nice, very nice.

Ok, the obligatory European police photo sets...
French Motor Police.
French horse Police...(taken for Janeth)
I'll give you a hint....they made a movie about a bell-ringer with a big hump on his back here...
I found this little art gallery here in Paris, called Du Louvre ?
Spectacular ! If I could say it in French, I would have !
No picture taking in Du Louvre....you must be clandestine...
No picture taking in Du Louvre, you must be fast....


No picture taking in the......damn, I can see the Du Louvre security people talking on their radios and walking my way at a fast clip. Time to depart now and blend in with the Japanese tourists...bye, see you back in London.
