Comfort Roissy

... at cost to improve the logistics for dentists in the country. I was happy to accept an invitation to serve on the board. We will have our first meeting just after the camp finishes. Then I’ll head back to Europe for visits in Bordeaux, where we’ll a meeting of the board of the French UCG association, as well as speaking in Paris on a Sabbath, before I finally return to the US. Total time out of country should be a few days shy of ...

... while the Sun King basked in absolute wealth. While our leaders' opulent tastes have been slightly tempered over the leaders, their wealth and aloofness is certainly reminiscent of their 17th century predecessors. Granted, security and comfort should be guaranteed to the world's decision makers, but Versailles more than anything else, represented the corrupting influence of detachment. Louis XIV, like too many ...

... the evening we went to a Cabaret show that I found avverage. Only b/c Ive seen Cirque de Soleil and many other shwows I found this. For what we paid for it, I though it was alright. That night was also unique and hilarious cuz Peter and myself started a joke that we were getting married just to see how much free **** we could get. So at the show, before it actually began, he proposed to me. Got down on one knee and did the entire thing; made a speach, held my hand, put a ring on my ...

... the park like area along most of the Champs Elysees, we reached the area with all the shops. I was planning on shopping there until we went into a restaurant, people watched, and discovered that **** was very expensive there (10 dollar diet coke -_-) My mom wasn't feeling well, so she went to sit in another café and Jeff and I had been planning on continuing up to the Arc de Triomphe. We ended up going to McDonald's. Well, at least I got that out of the ...

... Paris had a trash can every block, with garbage all over the ground, it just seems odd. The best thing about Paris for us was the fact that we were only there 36 hours, we went to the Rodin Museum (the sculptor who did 'the thinker') and the Louvre the largest museum in the world also has the 'Mona Lisa'. I don't know what else to say about Paris, I'm sure the country side is nice, but the city was not. Chris went up ...

... on by Parisian pigeons in front of the Notre Dame cathedral. At the same moment, a group of tourists in front of the Notre Dame directed their attention at me. I also heard a beggar chuckling at my predicament. I froze, unsure if I wanted to laugh or cry. My first thought was to find Rebecca, to see if she could help me because pigeon poo is one thing that is not considered a fashionable accessory in Paris. To my ...

The only morning we set the alarm, and this was to make sure we were up early to get to the Eiffel Tower before the crowds gathered. We took the metro, and got in line waiting only a short time before the tower opened and we could board one of the 2 elevators that headed up the tower to 3 different levels. We headed straight to Level 2, not seeing any reason to go all the way to the top as the guide books say you can't really make much out from up ...

... Fullol, 2100-1800 B.C., Ai Khanoon, -500 B.C., Tilia Tepe, 1st c., and Begram, 2nd c. Unfortunately, having to give up half a day (mind you a beautiful sunny spring day, and at the end of this month in Paris) just to get through the exhibition which was contained in only four rooms, really soured the experience. The layout of the exhibition was the main problem--likened to using only one side of a buffet ...

... accordion playing on the underground (as we had last time we were in Paris) and he had hoped that near the Eiffel Tower would be romantic (fully aware that Christie didn't enjoy heights, he wasn't going to drag her back up the tower). We found the underground just opposite the Louvre, so we jumped on, and sad to say, it was packed with people, with no accordion player and not romantic in the slightest. Changing metro trains, for the Eiffel Tower line, Glenn was thinking that ...

... that I have received that there wasn't much time to keep up with my entries so I cut them shorter. I keep my originals but edit for your sake... however, no offense, but I like the longer versions better and will start to post my full-length entries for your enjoyment. When I edit, you miss important details that I feel are better than the bigger picture sometimes. Tina made a good point that I think about but often forget: when going through life, we often take the small ...
