Sheesh...lol Hope you're having a great time, @Bebop Bebop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Nice pics! I hope this means you're having a wonderful time despite the internet speeds (or lack of). Slow and difficult internet speeds is a sign that you should be out enjoying your trip instead of being on the 'net. Bebop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 This place is incredible. I mean the pictures do not even do it justice. It is amazing. The people are wonderful. You have to go. Every time you turn a corner there is another magnificent piece of architecture. Notre Dame blew me away today. It is magnificent when you are standing next to it towering over you - dozens and dozens of stone carvings, scores of gargoyles leaping off the facade, spires so ornate. It's jaw dropping and at 7pm the bells went off for 2 minutes echoing thru the city streets. Just phenomenal. The Louvre is overwhelming. No joke you could spend a week in there and still not see it all. Filled with ancient Egyptian artifacts, Renaissance paintings 12 feet high, corridor after corridor of marble statues. Oh, and let me tell you vaping is thriving in Paris. I'll post pictures later. Still a lot of smokers but I see people all around vaping. There are around 12 established vape shops right in city center. I'll take pics cuz I know you'll appreciate it and VaporTalk will be known before I leave. Here's a few more pics from around Notre Dame and general area.... Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Typical vape shop in France. I was surprised to see half their juice inventory is american made juice! 5Pawns, suicide bunny - a bunch of others. I bought 2 new "french" juices and they are great. All of the Tabac shops also carry juice and vape stuff. These are regular tobacco shops that sell a variety of items like stamps and bus tickets and "lotto" tickets etc. - think 7-11.

Tam Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Here in rural Colorado, I've had Rocky Mountain Oysters. They were sliced thin, breaded, deep fried and served with a marinara sauce. I was surprised at how good they were. Edna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fire, great view.... good food..... UGH @Tam you're making me homesick for the mountains again Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
