We Say Peri

HAH my French was pretty darn good - I even chatted up our Waitress where Avril had a two part date with some French Canard lol!!

Paris was a great little adventure with good friends.

I arrived late in the evening on Valentines Day and had a Romantic Date solo atop the highest peak in Paris – Sacre Coeur. A couple Gargoyles kept me company so life wasn’t too bad.

Day 1 – while I awaited Laura’s arrival I adventured around Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie (where they kept all the prisoners awaiting the guillotine!!!) There was even a silly little man dressed up in Quasimodo garb scaring unaware passer-bys.

I did some window shopping and toured the Picasso museum before catching up up with Lovely Laura and her sister Megan. We spent the evening chowing down French Sushi and wandering the Louvre – ps the Louvre takes many, many, many hours to tour – you can’t do the whole thing in a day and we only had 3 hours!!!

Day 2 – We met up with Avril & Chris and checked out the Musee d’Orsay, Eiffel Tower & Arc de Triomph :D Followed by some din-dins at the aforementioned restaurant au flirty waitress.

Day 3 – We met at the Pantheon and did some garden touring, Café frequenting and walked the French grave yards. It was an early morning as I had to leave for my flight around 12 o clock.

My big revelation was gazing into Van Gogh’s self portraits. I really appreciated the detail of self-reflection. I value that quality in people and had a great little afternoon looking into and interpreting his insights.

I would definitely do Paris again but a bit more on the piss next time – and maybe even see some can can girls at the burlesque shows :D As for now I truly look forward to Rome!! In 39 days :D ;D ;D
