Ready for a vacation...

I come home Thursday and I'm excited to leave my life of crime and powerpoint behind for a few weeks and luxuriate in the freezing temperatures and the English speaking population! See you all soon, dear readers. And by readers, I mean Hi Mom.

Top of the Eiffel Tower with some Twins

 An expat colleague invited me up the Eiffel Tower with his two very cute and very wiggly 5 year old twins. The company was nice, I could take or leave the Eiffel Tower.

An American in Paris

I unfortunately didn't get a picture of this but I just went to one of the nicest gourmande magasins in Paris and they had a world food aisle. The "world food" for the US was Froot Loops, chesse wiz and pop tarts. I would be embarrassed by this but pop tarts are really good. I almost bought a box for 12 euro. Almost.

French Thanksgiving

Parisian Miscellania

 Cidre

 A little solo vin and the New Yorker

 Viral marketing for RDE

 These are everywhere, taunting me with their large print name and delicious breads in the shape of little men.

Sneaky photo at the Musee D'Orsay

Found in the Depths of My Phone...

 Lamb chuck.

 I do look good enough to eat.

Death by Lines

 Paris catacombs

 Bones.

 Bones.

 Getting creative with the bone placement

I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure this sign says "You waited in line for three hours to see a bunch of damp bones. Sucker."

Pere Lachaise

Hi Paul.

 I liked the colors here.

 "Famille Bonjour" That's unfortunate.

 Ring Wraith!

 Modern grave- check out the QR code.

 Lounging artist

 Here's Mary giving Jesus the Heimlich maneuver.

I knew I would find a Clarke in here eventually.

Foggy Paris

 Sacre Couer through the fog

Tour Eiffel through the fog

Modern Art for a Modern Lady

 Those are all pigeons. One of them flew into me and hit me in the face. A truly Parisian pigeon.

 Centre Georges Pompidou. The real perk of these escalators was that they made terrifying screeching noises as you rode up them.

 ART

 "How do you resign yourself to something that will never be? You stop wanting that thing. You go numb or you kill the agent of desire."

 They've finally developed pantyhose for all those special people with 30 legs!

 This is where you go if your wheelchair catches on fire.

More art! This whole place smelled vaguely of unwashed hair. Is that art too?

Apples! They tasted delicious.
