Some random photos from Paris

Here are some pictures, (in no particular order), from the last few weeks.

Dressed up for Nola's 21 birthday (we went and had fondue, my first in Paris).
L-R: Leona, Nola, Me, Marina

Allegra and Me, at the table that Anna set up for our new tradition of eating weekend breakfast together

L'Arche de Triomphe

People waiting for the what they thought would be a concert by Coco Rosie (but was really just a tea party) to open. The cafe, in case you can't read it, is called Mad Vicky's
The Pantheon, with a sliver of moon in the sky
A cemetery overlooking a suburb in the North of Paris. We were on a tour of a housing re-development project in the area
I can't remember what this is called, but it used to be where wheat was traded in Paris (Keith, Dad, Grampy, I thought you might find it interesting). Who's ever seen such a fancy trade building!
A statue that I like, in front of St. Eustace, the biggest church in Paris
St. Eustace, a really awesome church that is really active in campaigns to prevent AIDS and also does a lot to promote contemporary art, even displaying some inside. They also have free organ concerts on Sundays before mass which are supposed to be spectacular. This church is also the place where people were put on trial for their lives during the "Terroir" or terror, which was the bloodiest part of the French Revolution.
So now you got to see some pictures and even learned a little bit. I'm going to leave it at that to go pack. Scotland here I come!

Thanks for sharing the pics, Liza! I loved them, especially the one of you guys eating french breakfast by candlelight with the "french press" coffee, "french bread", map of paris, etc. :-) Have you been to an organ concert at St Eustace yet? Sounds cool. Have a great time in Scotland! Send pics!! Love, Keith
