I went to Paris over the weekend. I left Thursday morning and returned Sunday night. I had a good, laid back time.

Thursday I finally got to meet the lovely tama_abi in the flesh. She was wonderful enough to put me up Thursday night. I spent Thursday walking around touristy places like St Michel, Odeon, St Germain de Pres, the Louvre gardens, the ( Read more... )
