The rest of the Paris pics - nothing from the Buffett show, just me playing tourist for 3 days. Some of the French spelling may be wrong but I don't speak French.

in which case, Je ne parle pas francais could be useful, if you ever go back.... the French version of No hablo...

See how a little high school French that I haven't seen or spoken in over 30 years can stick with you??

Don't feel bad, I took Spanish for 5 years and I can't speak that either. Sometimes I feel as if I'm barely getting by in English.

Si, no hablo French. They forced me to learn that in grad school, but then they laughed at me when I spoke French with a Spanish accent!

Bonjour! Amigo!

Thanks for the hotel info Larry, and I'm with you on the cafes and quick dinners!

I'll check into that and will look at your pics as soon as I can un-pile some of the stuff off my desk!

One thing about the hotel, the room was really small. The first day, it seemed like every time I turned around I was banging my knee against something until I got used to how small it was. But it was clean, quiet and comfortable.

You should have seen her from the front. But I didn't want to be too obvious about it.

Ou est les photographs au dessus de la Tour Eiffel?

Great photos, LIPH! Thanks for sharing.

(I sound like a broken record these days, but I REALLY, REALLY like all the photos!)

Beautiful pictures Larry...brings back some memories.
I know my pix are faded...I didn't have a digital camera when I went to Paris.

Me neither .... I made some of that up.

Where are the pictures from the TOP of the Eiffel Tower?

I feel like I'm in 'broken record' mode, too. They are great photos - it looks like you made the most of your short trip!

BTW, did you reset the "clock faced people" at the Louvre to five o' clock on your way out?

My stroll from the hotel to the Eiffel Tower Saturday was a little too leisurely. I stopped a few places along the way, took almost 2 hours to get there and didn't make it until a little after noon. By then there were hundreds of people on line waiting to take the ride to the top and I didn't feel like waiting all afternoon. Gives me a reason to go back again.

No. The clocks all worked and they were set to the right time.
