We finally made it..now stand in line for hours then walk through room after room of opulence and statues and busts. A palace fit for a king indeed.

The most comfortable spot to stop for a drink and talk with Cedric the owner.

On our way to Versailles we found ourselves on the way to Belgium without breakfast. Forced to eat mini mart sandwiches

and what is life if not a warm baguette and thou

Right before it slid off and landed on the floor… gloating was karma

I assume that’s what it means

Victory at last…

And Sacre Coeur only 300 steps but a lovely view of the city. Coupons are fabric remnants I found out.

And that tiny red shirted guy at the bottom of the stairs is Steve at the No Problemo bar. My excuse for taking a break on the climb up.

How we know it’s a duck.Patrick picking the freshest fish for us.And the amazing white asparagus. What a treat.

Eating with class. A very fun and rewarding experience.

And so, our heroes pulled on their walking shoes…

Here’s where Napoleon turned the tide against Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Why the heck the sour face? Wasn’t there a victory?

This one is titled “The Search For Pants”.

Is it American of us to ask why there’s a guy who went off to war with his dingle dongling? He’s got shoes, were jock straps in short supply? And what’s up with the Scooby Doo expression on the guy behind him? Who proofed the mockups on these?

Graffiti

This was shoplifted from Egypt. How rude!

Mermaid!

Many live-aboard canal/barges are to be seen on the Seine. Here’s one that has planned ahead to carry a 60’s era amphibious car built in the states. Clever!

Meat! Cheese! Gurl!

Some peep is running around Paris putting up tiles of classic 8 bit and 16 bit computer game characters. Here are a couple. His name is Invader. He’s been prolific in numerous cities.

Eat your heart our F. Porsche. A chocolate VW Bug is not the chocolate of the people at 68 euros.

We started off our morning with services at the American Church, which proved to be not only in English but a very friendly and open community. Two thumbs up!

Meanwhile, the frequent chocolate shops show off their skills with items like these chocolate eggs the size of Donald Trump’s legal bills.

This thingie showed up. In fact try getting away from it!

Meanwhile, next to the ticket vending machine in the metro…

Art gallery stuff

Ancient cathedral, modern mural.

Who doesn’t like cider and crepes?

Thousands of people streaming for miles to see Notre Dame.

A Citron 2CV has a sad breakdown.

Facial hair.

Schindler’s Elevator. No one knows what “RC” means.
