(and yes phx/cgd, it does cost money, but, well, I think it's worth it ;)<BR/><BR/>Mme Benaut only my camera was on the pavement. I was far too cold to lye down myself!<BR/><BR/>Tonton, I'm glad you enjoyed your PDP goodies. Actually I have alot of positive feedback, which is good. To be honest I was not really into this but Michael convinced me to do it and since I don't have the time to take care of it, he offered to run it for me. All products are his creation - Thank you for that.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796507758758766120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-6689284581670441232007-12-18T21:10:00.000+01:002007-12-18T21:10:00.000+01:00In grammar school Geography class I always loved t...In grammar school Geography class I always loved to say "Bolivia, Labrador, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein" as they were hard names to pronounce and sometimes hard to find!<BR/><BR/>By the way...my PDP goodies from your Zazzle store have arrived!! They are all quite nice!! The Mugs and Magnets will be Christmas gifts...but the calendar is all mine!! LOL!!! I might keep a couple magnets as well since I love that one of the Alesia Metro station!

Last March my husband took me to Paris to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I was instantly smitten with your city and that is the reason I read your blog every day. I can't get enough Paris and I can't wait to go back. <BR/><BR/>I am originally from Venezuela (live in the US now), as Bolivar was. He is our National Hero and revered by all. I was aware that there was a statue of Bolivar in Paris, but really did not include it in our plan to find it while there. However, on our first day in Paris my husband and I were walking and admiring it all when my husband <BR/>spots a statue from afar. He jokes that it is the statue of Bolivar. We get closer and what do you know? It was! I was very excited and we proceeded to take aprox. 20 pictures of it. It was very neat.<BR/><BR/>Anyway sorry to be so wordy. I enjoy your blog very much. <BR/><BR/>LibbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-5804872302884610912007-12-18T08:32:00.000+01:002007-12-18T08:32:00.000+01:00Of course you couldn't resist, Eric, faithful Pari...Of course you couldn't resist, Eric, faithful Parisian photographer that you are!

That is partly what makes your city great. Also, think about how many euros that cost the government, and no demonstrations about it either. <BR/>In contrast, the only statue of sorts we have in Scottsdale Arizona is a buckin' bronco with a cowboy riding it.
