Le Chateau et Les Singes

Seems like I have less and less time to write my blog, c'est domage. Alec et moi must be too busy having fun. And so I created a photo collage of Paris for your enjoyment. We were only in Paris for a day and night. When Alec saw the Eiffel Tower he said "that's the most famous hunk of metal in the world." We drove through Paris at night and many of the monuments were brightly lit. During the next day we visited Notre Dame de Paris. Just outside the Cathedral many children gathered to feed the birds pieces of baguettes. It seemed to me that more people were taking photos of the birds than the cathedral. I will not comment about this.
In the plaza in front of Notre Dame there is a brass plack that reads Point Zero. All roads in Paris flow from this point. When Gilles mentioned the history of Point Zero. Alec said "I think this is more important than Notre Dame . I will not comment upon this statement. And now onto the castle and the monkeys. Stay tuned and I will post again soon. Oops, I forgot to blog about Bliesburg, an arceological park with an incredible exhibt from Pompeii.
