  • Favorite Thing: In October my aunt paid for me to go on an 'expensive' group tour to Paris from Prague. We went by bus, sure enough it was full of lawyers and engineers and other well-incomed Czechs. The tour guide was irritating, the hotel squallid and I quit the tour after the first day... >:(
    Thereafter I wandered around Paris on my own for 6 days... :D

    Fondest Memory: I stumbled across a temporary chocolate exhibition: 'Salon du Chocolat', just under the Eiffel Tower! I paid the 30F entry fee not just to sample the chocolate, but to use the free Internet set-up! I surfed away and then hit the chocolate stalls! Expert chocolate makers showing their stuff while eager Parisians (I did not see a single tourist from what I could tell) hurled themselves at the delicacies! Eugh... I may have overdone it myself... ;9

     I was too chicken to climb to the very top of the Eiffel Tower too! Tim did though, and took the camera and camcorder up there. Lovely Paris page - we went when it was freezing too, but it was just as magical as we expected! :) Trina
