So... Paris is pretty much how I remember it. Food is terrific even "bar food" is better than expected. I am told the "house" or "table" wine is better than the US - but since I don't drink wine I have no opinion one way or the other.
We've been extraordinarily busy and so haven't seen much of the city besides walking by the Arc de Triomphe, and seeing the Eiffel Tower, in all its sparkly glory, from a distance. I hope to at least see a museum (which one is under discussion) and maybe some of the other sights like Notre Dame and Saint-Chappel (I saw one but not the other six years ago). Maybe a couple of the gardens. But before that I have a ton of things to do for work - this getting up at 5:45am and working until 7 or 7:30pm blows. But it is "the usual" for this trip and people don't understand when you say you saw the airport the hotel and the conference center that really, THAT'S ALL YOU SEE!
Also sucks that as I am getting up most of you are in bed, and as I have a few minutes before tumbling into bed it is your evening commute... and so I am far more disconnected than I like to be.
On the plus side I am highly caffeinated this morning and shaking a little bit because of it. BUT I AM AWAKE!!!
