Normally when I come to Europe I stop in Paris after London because I love Paris. Paris is just beautiful and interesting and very cool but this year the Olympics were happening right right at this time, and I was reading articles that said it was going to be very crowded and they were raising the prices for things like the metro.  Also places to stay would be more expensive.

 

Turns out that was stupid. Yes it was expensive, but for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, like the Olympics in Paris, spending some bucks is why you saved those bucks, right? I’ve looked at pictures and heard stories, and yeah, now I wish I’d been there. It sounds like a great party and the Parisians loved it.  The events were staged in and around the beautiful locations of the French capitol, especially that big platform they built between the Eiffel Tower, and the Trocadero Palace, so in every shot you have something gorgeous in the background,

 

<sigh> I would’ve had a good time, alas, but anyway, definitely gonna make the Los Angeles Olympics. They’re coming up in four years.  See you there!
