I can't believe it's our last night here in Paris. I love this city, and it makes me sad to go :-( The opening of the exhibition went very nicely, and we met some wonderful and interesting people from London, Russia, Dublin, Italy, and other places, so we had a great time.
We did have a lot of fun memories on this trip, from the initial Algerian taxi driver trying to charm us with "sexy time," (eeeeeeeeeeeeewwww!!!) to Jilly and I fumbling around in the Metro unable to get the automachine to take our Euros, all under the disapproving eye of the most French looking Frenchman we saw in all of Paris--it was so comical, I said he probably thought he was watching Ralph Kramden and Norton trying to operate the machine! Jill was in awe of how French he was--she was waiting for his tongue to shoot out of his mouth and catch a fly!!! (No offense LOL). The crowning moment of the day: when we were in a beautiful little cafe by the Eiffel tower, and the old guy in the seat next to us just started eating bread out of our bread basket. It was like a friggin Seinfeld episode. I whispered, "Jilly, he's eating our food!" We just looked at him in surprise, and he smiled and waved. Jill and I just started cracking up! It was so damn funny, we laughed until we literally cried.
So, we are going to go out for a nice farewell dinner tonight, and then tomorrow, back to the States. But, we will be back in the Spring/Summer of 2012, so it is only au revoir for a short time!!
