More Paris!






Right. Some more photos of Paris. The first one is my favourite. Not necessarily because it is the best but because it reminds me of a brilliant song: 'Paris 1919' by John Cale. It's a photo of Les Champs Elysees and the whole time I was there I sang to myself, over and over, the lines: 'As the crowds begin complaining/How the beaujolais is raining/Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Elysees'. Great song, great to be there! (In the distance you can see the Arche de Triomphe - shout out to Napoleon I!). Then there's the Eiffel Tower which was guarded by Foreign Legionnaires, the Arche de Triomphe, a monument to Napoleon's ABSOLUTE GREATNESS!! and two shots of Notre Dame de Paris where I went for Vespers and Lauds, a brilliant experience. Afterwards ate escargot in le quartier latin before catching the bus home. I can't wait to get to France again - or even better get a job there!!!
