Little two star hotel
impressed us with a really good breakfast of assorted fresh
(not canned) fruits, meats, and rolls.

Because part of the group
opted to take high speed train to France, there was a lot of
sleeping room on the bus.
I scored the entire back row, and I was
among the last third to enter the bus. Dale came to the back a
short while later. I still had half a full row, which was more
than the two seaters.
Had trouble maneuvering through the
aisles, though. After rest stop, Dale and I lost our back row:
"What are you doing in me grave?"
|
| Stopped at the Chateau De
Fontainbleau, a French king's "tiny summer house." |
|
 |
Aaron's elevator (department
store) music found its way to the middle of the road.
At Hotel Ibis, found pool and
gym for 8 Euros, and Internet for more.
Dale, Jen, and I stopped for
"Chinese food" before finding a much cheaper
Internet place.
|
| Before dinner, I played a few
songs on piano: 1, 2,
3, 4,
5, and 6
(um, my playing is
not as bad as this midi file). |
At
dinner, Val
lost her voice, and Mike said that he’d hit her
every time she talked. So, I spoke for her. Got punched a few times
by Val...

| Whatever Kyle
had for dinner, we want. He went into "episode 1 (2 and
3)" on his tour about Paris. Talked about the guide with the
teeth. Mentioned Napolean's "3 inch willie" and
something about a "cheeky monkey." Admired old
lady's jumpers. Joked, "what kind of Frenchman jumps into
the River Seine?" Answered "in Seine (insane)."
Had us look for teddy bear in Napolean's room. |
| Passed by the Academy where
the French keep English words (i.e. Internet) out of the
French dictionary.
Kyle
helped us bypass Eiffel Tower lines (thanks, mate).

With little time left to get
back to the bus, we ran down the stairs and got stranded at a
platform. |
| Found an elevator where the
operator joked about not being able to take us down. (Funny
man doesn't want to live very long.) |
|
| Kyle acted very scared and
sat down as we approached a famous place. Click
here to see a video on why he was so concerned. |
Drove through Champs De
Elysees to see 'rubies and diamonds.' |
 |
Saw the opera house where
Kyle concluded his tour with "Phantom
of the Opera." |
