Paris France

A few pictures from my weekend trip to Paris and Normandy. This obviously was the Normandy leg of the journey. But, I have one thing to mention, I had quite the adventure returning from Paris late that Sunday night. Apparently my "direct train" from Paris to Den Haag, when it stopped in Brussels, "divided into two." You guessed it... I was on the wrong half. By the time I was able to back-track to Brussels, all the trains were finished running for the night. I met a Belgium guy on the way back who graciously stayed up all night (1am to 5am) talking with me at the hotel across from the train station and translating for me when necessary.
Thanks Cederic - I owe you one buddy. Wish you the best with your new movie venture. Cheers.
That's it... hope you enjoy the picts from Paris.

Place de Saint Michel - my favorite place in Paris. This was where I started my first walking tour of Paris eight years ago. The coffee you see was bought at the same little cafe I visited on that trip with its view of Notre Dame on Ile de la Cité across the Seine River.
