... they would have had me. Since that would have been strange, we took two baguettes twisted in brown paper and headed home. We only stayed long enough for a snack of cheese and bread and a shower so that I could see Paris before falling asleep.<br><br>I think it would be very challenging to drive in Paris unless you were raised to it. As Catherine said, &#8220;It&#8217;s important to know where you are going.&#8221; There is not room for indecision or ...

... coming next in the conv**sation. I glanced ov** at the guy next to me, and could see him getting more and more tense ev**y time the guy spat out the word "******". I was reassured, though, because he gave me a look that showed he und**stood I was petrified and he was watching out for me.<br><br>By this stage I had stopped replying to his rantings, except for when he raised his voice and repeated a question in a way that implied he might ...

... br><br>If you like great but not fancy accommodations and excellent regular food try Kibbutz sometimes called Guest Houses. Not cheap, but consider that 2 or 3 meals are included usually. <br><br>A dinner in a restaurant averaged $15. A car (Mazda 3) for 8 days was $500, Gas was about $8.00 a gal but with all our driving around for eight day, we spent $130 in gas.<br><br>We exchanged money 3 different ways: US cash ...

... couple bars and played "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" five times on the jukebox and we sang every word like it was 1865. We became the hit of the party after asking the bartender to turn it up and to put on the Yankees-Red Sox Game. <br>We hit the road early in the morning and knew we were going to have a good day when we read signs that said we were entering "Goochland". Next stop...Western Virginia.

... to change, pack up and head out!<br><br>We were finally on the bike and headed south towards Cary, North Carolina to visit Luba&#8217;s family at about 12pm. <br><br>The ride south was very pleasant. I really enjoy riding on small highways with really tall trees along both sides of the highway. It just seems like a much more peaceful ride. It&#8217;s so much different from the west coast riding where there a lot of open space.

... activities), and I would have checked it out if I had a car. After a little traffic, we arrived at Kings Dominion!<br><br>I used to be quite an avid rollercoaster fan- back in middle and early high school days.

We overnighted in Louisville and took a quick, err, slow tour on the horse cart around the downtown area. Not a bad city, except for ...

... my image of all historical figures talking like pirates might be misguided, but my elementary school textbooks can't compete with Johnny Depp and his roguish charisma. <br><br>It was a fun couple of weeks though, and I need time like that with my mom to supplement our primary communication of Skype calls from 10,000 miles away. From there, it was off to NYC to see the city sans my previous fog of jet-lag and incessant vomiting. Sans. Who talks like that?<br>

... them. Like the stewed tomatoes. They had cooked an entire pan full of stewed tomatoes. I didn't know if you are supposed to eat them alone, or put them on something and which something if you do. I skipped them. I did, howev**, eat a pound of green beans. They too must have been cooked in sev**al sticks of butt**. But, now that I'm thinking about it, I nev** saw butt**. I saw Crisco, and I saw margarine...nev** mind. Kim and I will be ...

... movie. We both enjoyed it. Now..Heading back to Queens was interesting lol...Queens at night time looks the same to everyone. Even brooklyn boys. Lol. it took us about two hours to get home [shakes head]. But i enjoyed the fact that the boys didnt mind. VA boys [shakes head], would have said forget it &amp;&amp; told us to walk.
