Ah, this keyboard is nice.

I'm back from the land of berets and croissants and I've lived to tell about it. So as I said, lots of rain early on in Paris, but it wasn't too horrible. The highlight of those first two days was definitely the dinners. They were so good and the second place was really well designed on the inside. I guess the designer is some famous guy, but I don't remember his name and he is probably only famous to people who pay attention to interior design (ie not me). The funny thing about both dinners was that we ran into this same couple at both restaurants. On Saturday night they sat down right next to us, which was just super surprising. It goes back to me seeing the same random people twice in a row that I mentioned a few posts ago. So on Sunday we went to the modern art museum and spent about 3 hours there. It was really amazing. They had great exhibits on Alfred Hitchcock and Raymond Hains (I think that's his name). The Hitchcock exhibit was really amazing. It showed a whole lot of art and how it related to or inspired Hitchcock. Also the exhibit was split up by the different themes in Hitchcock's films (terror, voyeurism, idolatry, etc.). The other exhibit was equally amazing. The artist does a lot of art with subway posters ripped on top of one another. It is quite an amazing thing to see. I tried to find an example online but no dice. After that we went to the park and watched people make out, another highly french activity. We returned with little effort last night.

Enough about France though. That country smells anyway. The whole time was good though. I enjoyed hanging out and relaxing with mommy and her friend Sylvia. It just gave me some time to recharge. Oh, I also managed to finish off the last Harry Potter book. Now I have to wait until 2002 for the next book. At least I have the movie coming in the fall, which should be really good based on the trailer. I think that I will reread the books once I get home. Man, I have problems. Moving on, I think the best part about the whole thing was staying in the Four Seasons on thursday night at my mom's hotel. Kara and I hung out in the robes and slippers and watched cable. It was great. You gotta love nice beds and relaxation. And now it's time for lunch. Bye.
