Only mangoes I have found so far are in chutney.
Texas flag is flying on fantastic hotel next to American Embassy, for Lance Armstrong, who will be blasting by here tomorrow afternoon to hopefully win the Tour de France! We have our US flags...
Went by the ritzy area today. On and off the Champs Elysses, saw the 4 Seasons George V hotel. WOW! Top of the line ritzy. (JB stays at 4seasons).
We think Will Smith will be there for Jly 28 premier of I ROBOT about 2 blocks away. They were perparing a big mtg room in Geo V with I Robot hubge posters.
Warm here, shoulda brought my tropical shirts!!!!
If JB is over FR, sure would be nice to know!
Go LANCE GO!!!

Hey Mango...
You picked a great time to be on vacation. We had to sit through a talk with Carly yesterday. Some old BS!!
Enjoy Paris! Been there, done that, didn't buy any t-shirts though.

After about 7 fruit stands, we found the mangos in Paris~!!!!
At Place de Madeline.... a fancy food shop had them... from Mexico... LOL
They surely must be the last mangos in Paris by now....
Going to the Louvre, seeing all the toga and naked Greek statues etc, made me think of Jimmy Buffett parties all the time... My wife got so tired of hearing Buffett references to everything...!!!!
But I got the conceirge (sp) turned on to Jimmy with some of BBBB the other nite!!!!!
Stood next to Parrot heads from VA for 6 hrs for Tour de France! what a hoot!

Got 14 rolls of film developed and uploaded about 320 digital pics.... My found mangos came out! LOL
Have lots of good shots of Lance in amongst the USPS team and by himself, as they enter the Place de Concorde. saw them go by 8 times...
Stood next to parrotheads from VA, who asked me if I knew about LTC. You bet, got it a few days before we left.
Turned on the hotel concierge to Jimmy's music and margaritaville.com What a hoot to walk into the hotel club lounge and hear Jimmy playing from BBBB.
Trip home was lousy. Paris already seems so far away.
I can see why Jimmy loves it there.
