Well I made it to Paris.  Two missed flights, one missed shuttle and a missed hotel later.  Some time around 5:00am, my bear bud rolled me into a bag for our morning flight.  By the time we actually got to our hotel though it was more like 3:00pm.   I thought we were going to a nice hotel but instead we arrived at a tiny hotel that required hauling our suitcases one at a time up a tiny elevator fit for one and then into a the tiny room.  Whatever, I’m not carrying the luggage.

Time to see Paris!  Nicholas has a thing against taking the metro.  So we started by taking the metro.

First stop, Tour Eiffel.

I wanted to see if this was the type of monument I wanted built in my honour.  One look at the lineup and I decided my time was too valuable for lineups.  So I made my bud walk us to the Arc de Triomphe.

Ah better.  I could use an arc engraved with my name and all my victories.  From there, we walked past some future house ideas —

— and to the Louvre — because I must have blown up the Louvre in some game.

Before ending at the Notre Dame.  I wanted to see the hunchback.  We didn’t find him.

And that’s how you do a walking tour of Paris in 4 hours hours.  Good ideas for monuments for me.  Good ideas, mind is churning.  Nicholas I hope you took notes!
