Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Oh, and despite repeated lessons from the littlest a Paris, I never did learn how to pronounce the word "shoes" in French...

I also had my laptop break since I got home, so no pictures for now.

I know!  Or should I say voila?

... just type it.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Heh - it's my thick Los Angeles accent that's to blame...

Actually, one of the friends I was with is a total skater-boi (for example, he actually advised us to "cop a squat" on the fountain at the Louvre).  We were worried he'd have trouble communicating.  We get to the restaurant and, to our astonishment, he busts out with some perfect French!  Turns out he'd been listening to French for Dummies on his iPod for weeks.  I guess that really works!

<sigh> I did my best to get you to say SHOCE YURE. But there are two syllables, that's true.

It was great meeting you, Izzy. Hasta la vista.
