des jeux d'artifice


This was Bastille Day last year, when I
was lucky enough to be right
there on the Champ de Mars—with
several hundred thousand
other lucky folks, but still . . .


It was spectacular—and as much as I don't
like crowds, I'd do it again (might get 
there a bit earlier though).

I love my view!

I've been told that if you take a picture of
a person next to one of these stone creatures that
live atop Notre Dame, the chimera will look real and
the human will appear to be made of stone.  I've never
tested it out myself, but others I know have and guess what:
It's true.  If (or better yet, when) you go to Paris, 
climb 
the 387 steps of the north tower and try it out for yourself.
(Or just go up there for the awesome view!)
