We checked out Versailles. One word GOLD!! No wonder the poor stormed this place and killed the monarchy. "So let me get this straight, I'm eating dirt soup, and you have a gold plated but warmer"!! Oh hell no!! (what the peasants said before they stoumed the castle) The place is enormous and we didnt see all of it. Excess is too mild a term to describe it, maybe glouttony would be better. I could live in the garden though. While we were wrapping up the tour s...

A quick trip to Sacre Coeur today. Our little learny for the day is that ther is a tram to the top!! Unfortunately we took the steps!!! Whew!!!

We walked the Champs Elyeés today... Meh. Lots of people,overpriced crap, it was like French Las Vegas Not for me! But I can see that other people enjoyed it. There was a queue ( line) to get into Abercrombie and Fitch !!! REALLY?!!! the only store that might have got a dime from me is NAF NAF. Also the absolute BEST time with some home grown folks. Dwanna and her husband were fabulous hosts! We had great wine and food,and awesome quality time. These guys w...
