Traffic, bad and Winnipeg? In the same sentence? I challenge larmony to drive round Paris some time, especially the Arc de Triomphe. I have a colleague from Houston that stayed just by the AdT and couldn't believe how people could actually get round without hitting anyone or being hit :-)
Actually Paris is somewhere I think everyone should spend a weekend in. Fantastic for romantic little places, wonderful eateries, and to gain an appreciation of of good it is to drive somewhere else. I'd guess that fully 30% of the cars have significant bodywork damage. The French character is manifest in it's full glory in the manner in which people drive. But it all works, and that's what's necessary.
Just don't drive there if you have a nervous disposition.
OK so everyone in church this morning was asking who Harmony was, really. Lauralea was getting nervous.
ReplyDeleteI can put 2+2 together and make 5 if you want ;-)

OK, Toni - I get 12 hours in Paris on June 19. What would you suggest after spending all night in a plane?
ReplyDeleteFor you, my dear, as much sleep as you can manage, followed by a croissant and a good cafe au lait :-)
