Paris, je t’aime!
Posted under Paris
… although not enough to eat snails I will confess. These gigantic, garlicy ones were snaffled by my friend’s husband while I looked on in horror. Meanwhile I nibbled some melon and drank 25 pints of wine, ouch my head.
Also ouch my poor feet. I walked miles yesterday in what turned out to be literally blistering heat. Today I shall thus be limping around at a steady pace on account of being a tad overhung and the hurty feet.
I hope my photographic mojo will return today. Despite lumping 2 tonnes of gear round with me yesterday I took very few shots. The ‘moments’ seemed to pass so quickly, I couldn’t catch them fast enough. Or the moments seemed too ‘big’ to capture… like the sudden, magical glimpse of the Eiffel Tower last night: lit up and shimmering and breathtakingly imposing as we rounded a corner.
My French does not seem to have improved since I was last here. I asked for a bottle of water and got a can of coke? I was too
embarrased to send it back – perhaps my 4.30am start was starting to show and the bloke thought I needed a sugar/caffeine hit?
Au revoir mes amis! (translation: I’d like a can of coke please)
Oooh you’re in Paris! I wanna go I wanna go!
um…not really liking the big snails, but pass the wine :)
Where’s mah wine woman? I see no glass to be enjoyed vicariously. I only feel the headache.
Oh, the deceptive ways of Spuddles.
Glad you’re having fun!
hurty feet and tad overhung sounds like Paris, sounds ideal actually! Enjoy!
Why are you in Paris with friends husband? You are soooo lucky… I adore Paris and have a friend who lives there her name is Patricia if you’d like to look her up!
Bon Voyage!
Ali.
Oh, I do love your Eiffel Tower unphotographable moment. Tell me more!
