  • I actually thought, that since I'm speaking three languages fluently, among them "the close to-french"-italian language, I would actually be able to make myself understood in Paris.
    Nothing could have been more wrong...
    In one way I guess I should be thankful that the people in Paris just speaks one language, since it forced me to remember the few french words I learned in school a long time ago, but on the other hand it made me quite scared, that so many french people just couldn't stand the fact that there actually exists people who doesn't speak they beloved language fluently...

    Fortunately, that was the only bad thing in Paris.

     You have a beautiful writing style, I think most of us hope to meet Quasimodo when in Paris ;-)

     We made the long walk up and then by mistake went to the dome. It's a long story! Please visit my Paris pages to see the incredible view that awiats those that can make the climb. Breathtaking in more ways than one!

     Ciao, Henrik! Haha - I did that, too, taking photos from the middle of the Champs Elysées on a traffic island. Someone yelled out at me "Crazy Americain!" Your Louvre Pyramide photo is THE BEST!
