We'll Always Have Paris



Why did that police man give us roses?



Rodin's Thinker!




Escargot? More like escarGREAT!


Spooner with Derrick the Epidemiologist Canadian!



Sarah Spooner. Synonymous with Good Time.

Paris High and Low Lights:
The Place Monger
Do you know the Muffintard who lives on Dready Lane?
Chuckie D (Charels deGualle)
La Bamba - obviously
Jeff/Derrick, everone's Favorite Canuck
"I thought it was an animal"
The bunk bed that almost took my life
The following Conversations-

ONE
E: He's Indian, isn't he?
S: Pedro?
E: (haaaaa) Oh it must've been his name that gave it away
S: No
E: Why did I think he was Indian?

TWO
After my cheeseburger and fries at the cafe by the Eiffel Tower... still hungry.
E: Maybe nuggets and fries?
S: Oh my God you cannot get nuggets and fries in Paris.
E: (Protesting) But I haven't had American food in over a month!

THREE
Erin to Spooner on vegetables, exasperated:
"Do you eat ANYTING that comes from the earth?!"


I don't know why Americans get a bad wrap for being obnoxious in foreign countries...





This is Spooner eating her steak that tasted like shat food. She was clearly disturbed by this.



This statue is one of many that surround a fountain in the Tuilleries Gardens. (I think that is also incorrect spelling). I really loved this one because he is so full of something real, I think. Most of these statues were suffering and for some reason I am really drawn to this. He really evoked an emotional response from me.



More material for my personal portfolio of self-portraits.
This just makes me feel triumphant for some reason...

wearing those mocs as touring shoes...not smart. not so much.
I would also like to comment on the roses from the French Police and how my first reaction when men with guns come striding toward me in the dark was to throw up my hands. American self-preservation.
Also: I'd like to add this nugget: "I don't claim to be a genius cuz I'm not. But I am good at life." -Erin Hatcher, after grabbing a nutella, banana and Grand Marnier crepe somewhere near Muffintard.
