Just came back from a wedding in France.

In 30 words or less: Paris is an extremely beautiful and vibrant city full of history and culture- it is also expensive to live in and not kid friendly at all.

Enjoy the sightings.

200SX at Porte Doree. Saw it parked there for a few days outside the Kebab (Turkish sandwich) shop. Go figure.

1 Le M Bacon + 1 Le M + fries + soda = more $$ than 95% of clubs in Albany ($hit cost me almost $25, no thanks to weak ass USD)

Yes I did. French food almost every other day I was there. Baguettes, fromages (cheese), steak tartare, wine, etc etc… Not a huge fan of it, although a couple of the restaurants we went to were quite good. Let’s put it this way, I couldn’t eat it for a week straight… Bad mix- the food is sophisticated and needs time to enjoy; whereas I am a simple person who doesn’t want every meal to take like 1.5 hours.

I know from the post it doesn’t seem this way, but I uh, did way more than take car pics and eat McDonalds while I was there.

I just put that stuff up 'cause it’s probably the stuff car people would find most entertaining, not the tourist stuff naw mean!?

I’m a tourist first, car guy second. I’d rather travel the world than roll around in my semi-modified Maxima.

I love real french cooking… so much love goes into the food… its like an art there and good cooking is pretty much everywhere. Even in lower scale restaraunts a great deal of time/passion is there.

Steak TarTar = Win BTW…
