Paris! (Day 2-ish)

2008.01.26
OMGOMGOMG! I'm really in PARIS! (My first full view of the Tour Eiffel.)

Look! I am filled with glee!

Beneath the skirts of the Tower.

(I hope you can't see up my nose.)

Drinkin' some hot, mulled wine with Monsieur Eiffel!

Everyone in Paris has matching cell phones. And they are ENORMOUS! (Actually, I suspect they are mind-controlling devices, egad!)

Look, we have cool Paris cell phones, too!

The Tower from our boat.

Silly yahoo who kept blocking my view. Sit down, silly yahoo!

The mind-controlled Parisians look obediently at the Louvre.

I didn't quite move quickly enough to get a good photo, but those 3 guys have Free Hugs signs, woohoo! :D

Notre Dame from the water.

Approaching sunset, with pretty silvery gleams!

Look, it's Armelle!

"Le camembert!"

David picked us up and fed us dinner and what did he get? We forced him to watch Foux Da Fa Fa. Poor David. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo

Me and David. :D

Me, Fatimata, and David. :D

More Paris pics from Saturday. We started with Notre Dame, rode the hop-on-hop-off bus to near the Eiffel Tower, had lunch, caught a 1 hour boat tour on the Seine, took the Metro back to the hotel to refresh, then hopped back on the Metro to go meet David for dinner at his flat.

I met David last summer at a Couchsurfing.com meeting in Palermo. He's such a sweetie! He picked us up at the Metro stop, drove us to his apartment, fed us a dinner of cous cous cooked by his adorable girlfriend, Fatimata, watched the Foux Da Fa Fa video (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo) with good humor, watched a French pop music awards show with us, then drove us all the way back to our hotel. Wow!
