For reasons I can describe only as "monetary," I'm currently blogging from Paris, France. About travel! Have you ever traveled to Paris, France? This quaint city has history even thicker than its cheeses.
I've been staying in a bed-and-inn breakfast hostel on the Rue Existante, and the architecture is no less than formidable. Today, I saw no fewer than 300 authentic Parisian clay-bricks, dating as far back as the 1300s.
The food is spectacularly warm. I discussed the making of baguettes (or as the French call them, beurres-pain) with an actual artisan. He told me they used both ingredients and ovens, but wouldn't reveal any other secrets.
I guess I'll have to find out on my next vacation!
Also, I rented a bicyclette to ride up the Eiffel Tower. Here's a picture I took from the third floor:
I'll chat at you some more later--in the mean time, I have some vin to consummé at the L'Ouvre. Remember: if you want to travel like me, you should check out www.asimpletravel.com.
Cool pic! Good for desktop wallpaper.
