Parquis House:
This is my house! I have my own entrance.
It’s the door behind the green shutters on
the right!
Sarah & Robin good:
This is a picture of me and Robin sitting
on the patio at our house. This is where we eat all our meals.
We came home one afternoon to meet Pierre’s
niece for tea.
She will be going to the same university in
the fall.
(PS: Yes, I am wearing my 80’s style, white
hoop earrings!! Hehe…)
Moulin Rouge 1:
We skipped waiting in line to see the Mona
Lisa and went to see the Moulin Rouge instead.
It was in a VERY shady part of town and it
was kind of a let down.
(And NO, we didn’t go insdide!!!)
Side street in Arles:
This is a little side street in Arles. Can
you believe how narrow and small it is?
Imagine walking in it when a car needs to
pass… it’s scary, to say the least!
The French are VERY aggressive drivers!
French Toillettes:
Yes, this is a French port-o-potty. I think
it looks more like a space ship.
They are everywhere in Paris, and people actually
use them. The doors are automatic and
you have to pay 40 centimes (.40 Euros) to
use them.
You have a time limit too, so I was kind of
curious: what happens if your time runs out
and you’re still in there?!?! Maybe you have
to pay more to open the door or maybe
you just have to stay there until someone
else has to go…
I haven’t been brave enough to try one yet,
that’s for sure!
Smallest apartment:
This is the smallest apartment in all of Paris.
We saw it on the boat tour we took the day
we got there.
I was wondering if maybe some relatives of
Bridget the Midget might have lived there
long ago before joining the circus…?
Versailles:
This is a picture of Versailles. It was AMAZING,
but so overwhelming.
That Roi du Soleil was one conceited king!
Throne:
This is the Sun King’s Throne at Versailles.
I was wondering if maybe we could make some
duplications of this for the
coaches to sit on at Champs?
