What these photos don't show are the pains of traveling in Paris. It's that language barrier combined with the Parisian Haught. They are not mean spirited. They are just very good at expressing displeasure at one's faux pas. And as a tourist, I can't help but do faux pas. It takes an amazing resolve to act gracefully under such an open display of irritation. But it's all worth it. It's the price I pay for that snappy crust on a baguette, for Monoprix, for the Orsay Museum, for a demi, or for a nice stroll along the Seine.

Chilin' at the Garden (notice the chair)
Finally made it the Louvre...Awestruck the whole time by the collection
Winged Victory of Samothrace hallway
The mob of tourist are definitely part of the experience...by Mona Lisa
Frieze of Archers...pardon the angle, it was the only way to get a decent shot with my shoddy camera
It snowed while I was there. Lucky since it does not happen that often
Food Shots
This was an unexpected dish...I knew I got lamb...I just did not know I ordered the kidney...I am assuming these are kidneys based on the uriney after taste
Count the cheese...there are about 8 and these are all from one region of France. This is why I go to France.
