THE LAST OF PARIS...ALMOST

This pic reminds me of a ZZ TOP song!

PURPLE SOCKS, turquoise shoes and smiles all around. Click on pic to enlarge.

The prettiest woman in Paris!

How these Captains manage these barrges thru the Siene not to mention the bridges with a 4 knot side drifting current is nerve racking.

Notar Dame

80% of the Paris population smoke

THIS IS NOT A SURF TRIP,...THIS IS NOT A SURF TRIP,...THIS IS NOT A SURF TRIP,...THIS IS NOT A SURF TRIP,...THIS IS NOT A SURF TRIP!

THIS IS PATTY'S B DAY TRAVEL GIFT.........

This is not a surf trip.....This is not a surf trip.

I'D BE HARD PRESSED making a choice between France and Spain. Both have beautiful countrysides, majestic mountain ranges (they share them) towering history filled architecture, and fashion..and more fashion..to the 9's daily all day and all night.
Every time I'd pass a hospital or watch an ambulance go blaring by I'd think.."THAT'S FREE". But in the end it all comes down to the people and as different as the French and Spaniards may or may not be, I couldn't choose one over the other. Cities in both countries are ALIVE. I'd have to go with Paris on that point. It's crazy beautiful and the energy is always plugged in with the switch ON! Spain is right there also but WE didn't have enough time in it's cities to draw an opinion. I'd say the people in Spain are more relaxed.
Like I said from the start... " I'D BE HARD PRESSED!

Did I mention surf? Lots and lots of it. Surf culture is thriving in both countries.

STOKED!

PARIS, THE BASQUE COUNTRY, PYRENEES MOUNTAINS

ABOVE: OK...so she's the girlfriend of the guy in black. The other guy (Mr German guitar man) is hitting on her heavily. 15 seconds before I snapped the pic, the boyfriend was about to break this jerk in half. Girlfriend was loving every minute of this. Click on pic to enlarge ...I think you can see her smile. But that's only one half of the story. I have photos of the 2nd half which went down about 30 min. later and a half mile away and will blog it later.
