Well, to all of my faithful readers, I've arrived and spent the past 2 days re-seeing famous places around Paris. I spent a couple of cold hours on the Eiffel tower's 2nd level, a few minutes under the Arc de Triumphe, 10 minutes in the church of the Sacre Coeur (Montmartre), a couple of hours at a Christmas market, 2 hours at the Louve, a quick outside viewing and walk-around of the Sorbonne, and finally an hour or so at Notre Dame (sights not listed in actual order of viewing). I did however do the obligatory greeting from Samantha to Mona Lisa (or as I call her Hannah with long brown hair).
The weather has been pretty horrific so far with temperatures right around freezing and rain and drizzle most of the day. Despite the bad weather it has been great catching up with friends. Tomorrow we (about 6 of us) plan to rent a van to drive over to Versailles and then on to Le Mont St Michel for the day. It is about a 4 hour drive each way but I am looking forward to getting out of the city and seeing these 2 incredible spots. For those wanting pictures, you might have to wait for me to return home to upload some. All for now.

BJ,
Good to hear you made the trek across the pond without incident. Enjoy the sites. I visited all the same in 75'. Been a while :) Enjoy the fellowhip. Have fun. Hurry home.
Jones, Great to hear from you. I take it that you made it past the TSA without any problems since you are actually seeing the sites.
My good friend Samantha would like to remind you of the deep friendship you two have. If you want to reward this friendship with a pencil from the art capital of the world I'm sure she wouldn't mind. ha ha.

I'm sorry to inform you that your 20k square foot building has been vandalized and burn to the ground.But hey enjoy your trip. hahah what am I smoking...Its rained so much here the last week that nothing could burn.
