interesting thoughts
I could never live in Paris for 2very silly reasons... as authentic and delicious as the French fries and French bread might be... I like mine with ketchup and butter... 2things the Parisians would be insulted by if I asked for them.
speaking of French bread... it's everywhere! I see business men with a loaf sticking out of their briefcases and people walking down the street just ripping pieces off while they walk and little old ladies with multiple loaves in their arms. when you go to a restaurant they serve a few pieces in a basket with your meal... our basket has always been empty each time we've left a restaurant. so good.
we went to 2 museums today... yes I said 2. the largest in the world...the louvre and the musse de orsay. I once had a wise man tell me that when given the decision to ride home from put- in- bay on the jet ski with Todd or Allie one should choose Todd... as riding back with allie caused his hands to blister from holding on so tight. I thought about this wise man as I spent many hours in museums today. here is my wise advice... when given the decision to go to a museum with josh or amy one should choose amy... as going with josh will cause sheer exhaustion. if you do decide to go with josh make sure you have multiple red bulls ready! he will wear you out! just kidding... but seriously, this is good advice.
greatest parts about the museums...
the fact josh had podcasts that we used to guide us through all the important parts of the museums... very smart. you focused on the good stuff.
how much of a celebrity mona lisa is... so cool.
so many Monet paintings in one room... almost overwhelming.
tonight we went to the arc de triumph. took the stairs all the way to the top to look out onto paris. night was setting in and the Eiffel tower lit up with all kinds of sparkling lights. then we stopped for dessert... new food I really enjoy... macaroons.
headed to the train station in the morning. we wernt able to reserve sets on the train but hopefully they will let us on anyway. fingers crossed. next destination... small town germany called cochem.
Great description of another great day - all sounds so cool. Being the subject of the jet ski ride, "wise man" is overly generous! But, do go with Todd ( Allie, if you are following :) )
ReplyDeleteWow! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI am on Amy,s tour! Becky
I had to LOL about going to two museums in one day with Josh. You would have found Todd at the bar after the first hour! We took Zach on his first trip to PIB yesterday! Unfortunately Uncle Josh wasn't there to take him on the monument tour so he got to go on the Pub Crawl instead! He loved Frosty's though. Definitely look up the phrase for ordering pretzels in German! They are the best (I think it is something like "ein bretze bitte") :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...I love bread! If only you could bring some back to share... Have a safe trip to Germany. Looking forward to hearing all about it! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteamy, you're going to turn into a macaroon! Josh, does Rick Steves know you're after his job? Great trip! Love, Karen, Rich 7 Co.
ReplyDeletemmmmm...French bread! God only knows how much I like bread. No, actually everyone knows how much I like bread, bring some back!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I enjoy these posts because as Anna said, they are waaaay more interesting than work.
Be safe and enjoy the fatherland! Amy don't forget that you maiden name means "king" over there. Don't even think about switching back though...once you go Drouhard, you are always a Drouhard haha.
