"2 Days in Paris" Paris by Sonador3

Paris Travel Guide: 26,629 reviews and 52,009 photos

Ad for this years Expo. Wish I could go!

OK, I know this is pretty lame, but I only took about 10 photos during the whole trip. I flew into Paris from Moscow with the main purpose being attending the Sial International Food Show.

SIAL 2002 - Salon international de l'alimentation, Paris,
20 - 24 octobre 2002

I attended with a few of the boardmembers of Mozarella Fresca, so it was basically a business trip. I never in my life ate so much cheese and in 2 days at the show, we only saw about half of all of the exibits. For foodies like me, it was heaven.

A Rush for Photos!

Harry's Bar Paris

About 3 hours before our train was scheduled to leave, I realized I had taken no photos of Paris, and scrambled to take a few so as to not be a total looser. Harry's Bar is pretty famous (I suppose) and it was close to the hotel, so I snapped this one.

And here is another random black and white pic.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Incredible food and wine! Great Metro system.
Cons:I didn't find any. All around good experience.
In a nutshell:I wish I had had more time and this wasn't a business trip. Maybe nest time.

When is the next trade show? Would love to attend as I was a former Judge at the International Fancy Food Show in NY for 15 years.

Only ten photos but an amazing ten photos you have! Hopefully you will return to Paris and see more of what this beautiful city has to offer.

Yes, my brush with fame in Positano wasn't one to write home about. John Cusack, John Mellencamp - heck, even John Davidson would be worthy! But John Tesh?! None of the locals knew him! Nice start on Paris here. I'll be back for the other 8 photos! ;-)
