Scuba Forum / General / May 2008Au revoir . . .a tout a l'heure
This isn't a dive trip. However, I will be immersing myself . . . in history and culture. I will have my picture taken with the Eiffel Tower in the background. I will cruise down the Seine. Mayhap I will wonder at Mona Lisa's smile and be amazed that the actual painting is small. I hope to eat snails and drink wine at Chateauneuf de Pape. The sea at Nice will be too cool for swimming. Perhaps I'll lose some money in Monaco. I shall tread where Romans trod, at the theatre in Orange, and stare agog at the Roman architectural ingenuity of Pont du Gard. I must be one of the luckiest people I know. A bientot, mes amis. Jeu gentil. > This isn't a dive trip. However, I will be immersing myself . . . in > history and culture.

I'm heading out Sunday to Vegas for 3 days where I'll see the Eiffel Tower and lose money too. I'll cruise down the Strip and wonder at Lady Luck's malicious grin. No snails, but we're planning on sushi one night and Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill for Cinco de Mayo. At least I won't have to put up with French people and the overpriced Euro.

Remember, he is relying on his dive computer ;-) I had everything except the Mona Lisa and Chateauneuf de Pape. And you should add oysters with champagne at Arcachon or Sete on your list. Have a nice trip..

Odd as it is, as I become more familiar with this job, I take more and more secondary roads to get from A to B. So I'll cover more ground.

Or at least eat them with a lighter Burgundy, not a full bodied Rhone. If I were a rich Canuck like Sherryl, I'd hire a wine- knowledgeable starving American to accompany her as personal sommelier and food taster. I don't need to taste the escargot, though, since everyone already knows they taste just like snails. > > > "chilly" <slar...@shaw.canada> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > and food taster.

Do you speak French or is that a stupid question since you are in Canada ? What is the currency exchange rate between Canada and France now ? I'm sure you will have a good trip and I wish you do !! Welcome to France. If you're into antiques, the current exhibition in Paris about ancien Babylon is reportedly well worth the detour (probably more than trying to get a glimpse of Mona Lisa between groups of tourists in a cramped room). > Welcome to France. > > If you're into antiques, the current exhibition in Paris about ancien > Babylon is reportedly well worth the detour (probably more than trying > to get a glimpse of Mona Lisa between groups of tourists in a cramped > room). Thanks, but I did quite well getting a glimpse of the Mona Lisa. I've got about 6 photographs, not that they've come out that well with the 6 inch bullet proof glass cover over her. |
