I had been in Paris just a few weeks and enjoyed spending my time roaming the neighborhoods. While wandering in the Marais district one morning, I had gotten a little turned around and wasn't exactly sure where I was (which is part of the fun of walking in Paris).
I found myself in back of the Swedish Cultural Center and while I was looking at their garden, I saw this guy up in a tree.
It took me a few moments to realize just what it was I was looking at and when I realized that this was a dummy, I just had to get a picture. Fortunately, he held the pose while I got out my camera.
If you've been to Paris, no doubt you have a story of your own.
It's hard to imagine visiting Paris without coming back with a good story or two about your stay.
Perhaps an interesting street scene, like the guy who swallows swords in the Plaza at the Pompidou Center, or a place you visited that really made an impression on you.
Or, share one of those "cultural moments", either a "that's cool" connection or a "what's up with that?" disconnection.
Maybe you met somebody here, another traveller or a local, who has become a friend for life. Maybe you fell in love in Paris, or maybe you came here because you are in love.
One of our clients had her luggage blown up because it was late coming off the plane and wasn't picked up because she was told that it was on another plane en route. She had some shopping to do. And, a good story to tell.
