Yep, I’m here. That’s me in Montmartre, the neighborhood where a few notable names lived and painted: Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, van Gogh… you know.
My flight in was fine. Short (6 hours from DC) and smooth.
The adventurous train ride in went off fairly well, although somewhere between the airport and the apartment I lost my passport!!! Ugh. So, needless to say, I’m learning French quickly. After three stops to the baguette shop (the G in baguette is pronounced like in “bag”, or so the lady told me) and a stop to the Police station, I have a paper that will get me out of trouble. I just hope the person who now has my passport is nice to it! And, all of THE STAMPS from all our trips!! Well, at least I have pictures.
Stay tuned for “Man vs Paris: Part 1″, the movie, coming soon. But for now I have to get some sleep!

Scott, I am so sorry about your passport. Do you think it was stolen or misplaced? What a bummer. Have a wonderful time. I love Montmarte. Just stay away from the Moulin Rouge
Ha ha. Wish we were all there with you! The weather looks nice! The views are great from Sacre Couer–you need to go. There are interesting mimes (spelling) hanging out there too.
Glad you made it OK and somewhat intact! Try not think about how incredibly miserable some of us are while you’re enjoying the baguettes and the mimes.
Have fun!!
scotty!
sorry about the passport, but that’ll be fixed in no time, and it will be an exotic replacement for you. Off to dance some bungarra… the party continues. Thanks for your call.
have a great time in Paris, miss you!
