La Nuit de la Censure and just bummin around Paris


So these pictures are all out of order... The bottom half is from a party we had at a club near the Moulin Rouge last week and the top half is from when we tried to go to the Catacombs but daylight savings time messed us up and we didn't make it out in time so we just walked around Montmartre...




Cool shoes I saw on the metro... If the were low tops I'd soooooo get them...



Yet another metro station :)



Funky checkered intersection



Looking up from the bridge that crossed over a graveyard



Love graffiti



Looking down into the graveyard



Dad, these next few are for you... This was just a cool lookin bike - I want one... ;-)



Not quite Chevy red, but close (it's an old Vespa)



Another old Vespa that reminded me of the Chevy blue - they made me think of you!



Everybody needs a CHOCOLATE FISH



Pretty picket fence



The French know how to use colors :)



Pretty purple flowers... Alex pointed this area out as the only vineyard inside of Paris that produces grapes to make wine



More cool shutters



Neato building.... (yeah, I just said neato)



Just a cool shot... Now if only I knew the people in it lol



These guys were doing some kind of martial arts... They got tourists to come "learn"



Notre Dame in a sea of buildings



It always looks like a postcard



Haha Mathieu...



Ok, end of the party so head to the bottom and work your way up... Me and Glenn



Yes, those are strippers behind us. I was a little scared. Chessa was excited. Luckily these were PG-13 strippers and all clothes except the dude's shirt stayed on



Me and Sebastien! (He wrote me lots of letters before I came to help me know as much as possible about EPSCI before I got there.)



Haha Chessa



Chessa and Tim having fun with the poles



Me and Rita - we "met" before we got out here because we got assigned to each other as roommates (a mistake) but got it all sorted out and started being penpals...



Mat, me, and Fred



Tim wanted to see teeth... This is what he got...



See - no teeth...



Me and Tim! :)

Radio et Rue et Jimmy Choo


So last night I went out with Mat, Chessa, and Ben for a walk along the Seine, McD's for Mat's hunger, and to a couple of pubs. Today I went to the Louvre for awhile and then out to a shopping outlet with Chessa and Mat... Just you wait! ;-)





It's much tinier than you'd expect



Hair everywhere!



Haha they're too cute :)


One side of the table



Oops, out of order but oh well



Other side of the table... He said I act more like a first year then he does. That's why he's giving me "the look"



It's 11:11! Make a wish!



:)



I started my day off right...



I have a strange fascination with long, extended figures



It intrigued me



Elle est belle :)



Haha this little guy made me laugh



Pretty light fixture



Again with the long figures



A new favorite :)



Notice he's coming out of a baby's head...



I don't understand how they carve a face with a veil over it out of stone



But it sure looks pretty :)



I thought this was sweet and beautiful



Just lounging



:)



Today kept going back and forth between bursts of sunshine and spasms of rain



Shopping :)



Have I mentioned that I love the graffiti?



Today's purchases



Yes, Mom, you saw correctly... Go put on your glasses just to make sure...



Jimmy Choo's!



Mmmm, can't wait to wear these out :)
