Paris broke our legs

(anything you see with this is a comment of michael j. dirnberger)

We have walked and walked. and we have seen. Our eyes have touched things made thousands of years ago and then some. (and man are our feet tired)

Things are wonderful. We have a great Couch Surfing host. Couch Surfing is a free way to sleep in peoples homes. It has been wonderful to feel the generosity of strangers. A world wide connection of people.

We arrived a day later than thought because of bus scheduling. but when we arrived, we went on a free tour of Paris that lasted 3.5 hours. We climbed the eifel tower and peered over the city from hights unknown but only felt. (at this point ann got tired of writing capitols and stuff because the french keyboard is different from ours. the same sentance without changes. qt this point qnn got tired of ariting cqpitols qnd stuff becquse the french keyboqrd is different fro, ours.)

The next day we rewalked the tour only much faster with more pictures, which will be on the way. We stopped and went into the Musee d Orsay. beautiful van gough, monet, rodan, picasso, pissaro, serat... amazing and then we walked to the arc d triumph and under it and to the center. we shopped on paris*s rodeo drive. (we didnt take as many pictures because we didnt want to look like nerds)

Today we saw jim morrisons grave. it was small and wegged in between other graves. understated comes to mind when thinking of his death plot. we went to the luvere. to the mona lisa. eqyptian art and preserves. mesopotamian belongings. (understated for the mona lisa too)

My mind is a bogel of things we have seen.

To Judi and all the other sticklers out there: disregard the spelling. and UN proper english. (george bush is still in office, so its okay)

Glad you got there safely and that things are going well with your host. Walking and biking is so common for the people here - which is way you probably never see overweight Europeans.

I talked to a guy yesterday who said that Paris was his favorite to visit - and he had been to Italy. I say that since most people here love Italy.

Take care as you head out to your new destination.
