Bonjour again, everyone! Eric and I are about to skedaddle out of Paris after spending 4 great days here. Even though it sounds pretty spoiled, all this touring around can really wear you thin. Since everything in Paris tends to shut down at 6 pm, you have to really haul ass to see all the sights and museums here. No time for lollygagging around. It's a marathon here everyday. But we've seen some great stuff.
I only have a few minutes left before I have to go. But in a nutshell, here's what's good, bad and ugly about France, based on what I've seen.
In the Good Column: Food, sights, nice people (a real surprise), wine, cheese
In the Bad Column: Expensive prices, lack of public toilets, lack of toilet seats on the public toilets that DO exist, squat (or Turkish) toilets, vending machines that only take coins and not their own stinkin' bills, tiny drinks that cost 10 times what they normally should
In the Ugly Column: my hair after 8 weeks. It looks like a rat has built a nest on the top of my head. It's beyond help. I've often wondered what I looked like with an afro.
