Evergreen Laurel Hotel Paris

... this stop, I got on the user friendly subway system and ended up at the Arch of Triumph. I was taken by the immensity of the structure itself, while also intrigued by the military history of France. As I see it, they are quite nationalistic and it is reflected in the structures and grandiosity of the facades.<br><br>By now it is well into the evening and I am hungry and tired. I went to my room for a short rest but, well, it ...

... shockingly looks different at 100 km/hr) we were n San Gimignano. As it was getting dark, we thought it best to figure out when the last bust was heading back to Florence; and thank god we did, because it was in 5 minutes. The blurry pictures I have of this picturesque walled town don't do the 5 minutes we spent there justice. Best part is, when the bus pulled up again - guess who was driving? Well Freddy turned out to be a very sweet ...

... long, and I think there were several immigrant families filling aisles while I tried to squeeze past them. By the quantities they were purchasing, I assume they were exporting the fabrics back to their home countries. <br><br> <br><br> The top floor (5), which normally houses the designer-fabrics collections, was closed and under renovation today, but those fabrics had been transferred to the second floor, where I am ...

... we were there. I also got elbowed by a freaking gypsy because I would not give her money. Oh, I was so mad. After our meeting, Mary and I headed out on the town after grabbing some lunch. We walked past the Arc de Triomphe and stopped to take in the historical past of the arc. I got goosebumps thinking about WWII and the Nazis taking Paris and marching through it to march the city. Wow. Then, we headed past the Louvre and went to the Notre Dame! So beautiful and so interesting. We highly ...

... tucked into boots are big here, and it works because everyone is skinny. Maternity tops are in style here too, and the girls and women look just as ridiculous wearing them in Paris as they do to us at home. I'll be glad when that fashion fad dies. Men generally wear jeans or dress slacks with long-sleeved button up shirts and European sneakers or dress shoes. I've seen a lot of t-shirts on guys, too. Sunglasses and glasses ...

PARIS FRANCE April 27, 2007 Paris is beautiful and DIRTY. Paris is more than 2,000 years old. Gauls of the Parisii tribe settled there between 250 and 200 BC and founded a fishing village on an island in the river that is the present-day Ile de la Cité -- the center around which Paris developed. Known as Lutetia (Lutece) in ancient times, Paris was conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BC ...

I know I haven't given much news about my project for the past months. I actually had to change a few things about it: I left Cameroon to go to France in April with the intention of buying a car to bring back to Cameroon and sell it there... well that was plan B. Over the past 2 months I've worked on plan C, which is to make a round trip in West Africa with my 6WD Pinzgauer. The idea is to go from Paris to ...

... is Paris in a nutshell. The Parisians were not rude as is their reputation. We didn't make a lot of demands of them and tried to be polite and they were polite back. I think without the hordes of tourists that come in the summer they are a little more relaxed. From Paris we flew to Spain to visit our cousin Jennifer and her husband Carlos and their kids William and Olivia. After a few speed bumps on our first day we had pretty smooth sailing.

Continued on our bikes for 2 hours, then onto lunch and more foundtain displays before heading back inside for tour of the apartments of Louis' the something numbers daughters. Feel a bit naive, but cant keep up with all the Louis'. Headed back into Paris, with a quick freshen up at the hotel followed by some cocktails, then onto a great restaurant in St. Germain (the ...
