In Paris - Part Deux

Erica here. We have had an interesting travel experience so far. But you know that. I'll talk a little more about the plane ride. It was one of the smaller planes for international travel, an Airbus A-330. Chris and I got to sit next to each other and no one else, which was nice. The movie selection was impressive: Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, The Reader, Valkyrie, Vicky Christine Barcelona, Yes Man, Gran Torino, Bride Wars, and many more. Vicky Christina Barcelona was interesting. I did not like most of the narration. A lot of it seemed unnecessary unless you weren't paying attention to the actors. Dinner was nice. I wasn't able to finish. There was a cucumber, celery, tomato, and carrot salad; a cup of grapes; a cup of melon; a dinner roll; and CURRY AND RICE...and that spinach thing that often times accompanies it - can't remember the name. Breakfast was pretty much more fruit and a biscuit. I am going to avoid fruit for the next couple of days, I think. I don't think I slept much. I know I dozed here and there because I kept catching myself with my mouth hanging open. Attractive. When we got to the airport, I "breezed" right through security...and then had to wait for Chris to make it through...

The lady stamping our passports stamped right over my Oaxaca stamp. Grrr. I knew that was going to happen eventually.

We are going to have to post-post these entries because airport wifi is expensive. So by the time you read this...something else will be happening...which we will blog about later. I've enjoyed checking out what other people are wearing. Chris and I are the only people sitting in this area who are wearing tennis shoes. Scarves are also big. I always thought that had to be sort of a stereotype, but I guess it is for a reason. Huh.

  3. I am really glad you are safe and that you are seeing a lot and having a seemingly great time! Your blog is very informative, entertaining and just plain awesome. Great pictures, though I wouldn't expect anything less from two of the most creative people I know. Was a treat to hear the famous "Chris laugh" in the video! (Gottcha!) I am so glad you decided to create the blog. It's a great documentary of your experience that you will appreciate for years to come...and keeping us all informed as well is just too cool. I'm sure most who view this are as envious (but as Proud) as I am. Love, Mom
