Well what more can you really say. It is tourist hell here, but it is pretty as hell also. Its fun, if you find the right food, its amazing, and the night life is quite impressive. Paris is a cultural and artistic icon, and as with all things "show", its quite dysfunctional (just like Apple products as an example). We have had 6 days and nights here, and we were shocked that we might actually not be able to cover our picks for sightseeing just do to the logistics involved with all the damn fat Americans here trying to see them as well. Anyway... there is not really much more to say. We've seen the important stuff and have had a blast at dinners and out at night. We've met really cool people and aside from being annoyed trying to do some things, we've had a great time. We also stayed in a quintessential French apartment in the Latin Quarter, which definitely added to the experience. We've ate our selves sick of foie gras and macaroons (and to our surprise the best macaroons we had in France were at Versailles in the Palace). But please don't tell anyone here, the best we had hands down on this trip were at a little place in Barcelona next to a Puma store... go figure...

After reading your blog on Paris it brought back all memories of when I was there
