Say something random about you (Part 2)

Bonjour mes amies!

I am actually rather chuffed with myself today. Up and dressed early (as is my usual practice) and hit the street with a Starbuck's coffee walking towards the Champ Elysee with the other one and a half million people. Have never seen anything like it ... Gendarmes, army and beret wearing secret officers everywhere in preparation for the great march past. Following in the path of a pack of similar sheep, I have never walked so far out of my way for a few glimpses of a short, Italian-loving, French President in my life and I won't again.

The men on horses in Gladiator gear and the supersonic jets however were well worth it. I stayed squashed in the front row for 30 minutes and then turned around and headed back to the safety of the Latin Quarter.

Small delicious ironies around in this city - I walk in the opposite direction to everyone else and walking alongside of me, singing, are a herd/squadron/fleet of baritone soldiers. The jets stopped me in my tracks with their stream of red, white and blue smoke. The French are proud of their military prowess, that's for sure. Should I perhaps have reminded them at this point of the Rainbow Warrior debacle in Auckland Harbour many moons ago?

This afternoon, I took a Batobus on the Seine and saw some of the city highlights from the water. My day finished with tortellini with creamy truffle sauce and another glass of rosé.

I am fast becoming addicted to this way of life.

The Louvre tomorrow if my feet hold out.

happy Bastille day!

It sounds like you're having quite an experience. I can't wait to see pictures!

I shall definitely start a thread when I return, Donna ..... photos and all.

I look forward to that, Nay!

I have a "date" shortly with an Irish writer that I met today. We're having a beer together and then heading off to the Eiffel Tower.

Nothing special, folks. Simply a lovely old man.

Hubba hubba!!! Wear your best shoes and jewelry. And don't lick his cheek, no matter how tempting it is to do so.

Do they drink under the table in France?

I love Kilkenny!! Had some in Vancouver with Birdseed when I was visiting her there. You can't buy it here at home.

Can't wait to hear all about it!

yippee!

If you don't hear from me for a while, it can only mean two things - either there is no internet access OR I'M HAVING TOO GOOOD OF A BLOODY TIME!!!!!

Or you have been eaten by Nessie....



Get a picture of Nessie and I'll try to get a pic of the Montauk Monster when I go to the Hamptons in a few weeks. We'll be rich and famous!!!!

Going to the Hamptons, huh? Well aren't you special!

Glad you're having a good time, Nay.

I'm going home today. I miss my kitties.

I am special, but not for just heading up north for a family shindig and wedding.
However, if I find Montauk Monty aka the Montauk Monster, then I will be more than special. I will be famous!!!!

Nay has gone halfway around the world. What does that make her?

My guess is that she is halfway special. Hahaha. I will hear something smartass about that one. I luv you nay.

I feel grumpy.

Grump grump grump grump grump!

I guess a snuggle is out of the question, then?

It was awesome and full of win. Glad you're having a good time, we'll all have to swap stories in chat when you get back!

Something random: I just got out of the tub. I feel clean now.

Wow, Nay, you have been quite busy seeing the beautiful sites of Scotland. I hope you are taking lot's of pictures. You are seeing Scotland in its true form and I know it's not your first time.

And I love the way your Clan Gathering is going. You are seeing and learning about your Clan from "the ground up"! Enjoy every minute. Wha Hae!!!!

P.S. Have you found your "land" yet, Lady Nay?

Wow up m mine eh? I am glad you are having a great trip nay. Looked up any kilt's?
