I'm ready to finish with these pictures and get back to bitching about stuff like WTF the city council is going to shut down taco trucks? Hell to the no. And also IMPORTANTE!! as my mom would put it in an email:
Knock, Knock
Who's there?
Knock Knock
Who else?
The Four Eyes
For real?
Yes, this saturday at Luigis with Missouri Mule
So when we were in Montmartre, we saw these two black cats on a fence sillhouetted against this crazy orange sky, and smiller grabbed the camera really quick and got a perfect picture of it! Looks like a painting, right?
The best tourist thing we did was go to the catacombs, on mattyrob's recommendation. We waiting in line for an hour but it was worth it. Also, there is a crepe truck nearby that we kept going back to during the hour. You're not supposed to take flash pictures but I was a jerk and took a couple
It's so creepy and fun!
Cheese porn. That's camembert au calvados on the left, and mont d'or on the right.
We went to the Clignancourt flea market, which is every saturday, sunday and monday. It has a big Denios part, and then a big antique part. Stuff online will make it seem like it's rough, which is a joke. Not like I'm some big badass, quite the opposite, but it's about as rough seeming as Denios.
My favorite thing to do was sit on the Seine and drink. There was a good wine shop across the street from us, with a dude who spoke English (he had even been to Sac before), and this was one of his recommendations.
So pretty! We were really lucky with the weather.
A little known fact is that in contained within the zoo at the (Al) Jardin du plantes is the only known ewok in captivity.
More flowers I forgot to post yesterday.
On the left is brebis. That wedge was like 8 euro, I kind of tripped when I saw the price. On the right there is livarot, which smells like manure! It's good.
There's a really excellent French craft beer store right by the Pompidou called La Cave A Bulles. He has a ton of French brew that you will absolutely will not be able to get anywhere else. That's the owner, Simon, on the left. He is a super sweet dude and speaks fluent English in a charming accent. Both times we were there he opened beers and gave us tastes. We wished we could have had longer to hang out with him.
Also, the beer is super cheap!
Here's some pictures of the bands from the wedding. Rantouls!
Unnamed project! Or did they have a name?
Rantouls from the rear!
Some of my favorite pennants from the wall.
This is my absolute favorite. Why did it take so long for these two great things to come together?

Brebis cheese, maybe? It's a sheep-milk cheese from (Google informs me) the Pyrenees.
I am so envious of the whole trip (especially the beer and the unpasteurized soft cheese, but anyway). Your flower pix are fantastic.
Yep, that's it. I was looking on cheese lists and I couldn't even find it in the "b"s.
I'm so glad you got pics of those pennants! They were we so rad!
Using the flash in the catacombs was totally worth the constant haunting that's been going on ever since. I actually think all the blood on the walls of our house looks good.

Again your pictures are killing me, but also making me so stoked to plan our trip to wales in september.
My mom went to the space needle tut thing, she had a book from it. She was really into King Tut, as was the rest of america in the
1970's. I remember her having a rad king tut tee shirt too.

that one ghost that ravages me every night is a little rough for my tastes, but I'm getting used to it. I think his name is Pierre
oui oui!!

I'm getting really sick of the ghost that meows all night & gallops through the house.

we should probably burn some "sage". in fact, let's burn a fat j of sage right after work.
I too was transfixed by the shameless packaging of King Tut and the 'Needle. 2 for 1!

Did anybody else put up wedding pictures yet online? -ec
There was one pennant that something like
"The Big Tree Hotel -the one with the Lusty Chambermaids"
Wowza.

The unnamed band is named "Lil' T and the Tiny Tyrants". I thought everyone knew about this buzz band!Did you not hear the announcement of our name over our demands for Amber to get us drinks?
-heckamax
I was waiting in line to pee.
did you get a pic of the sacto one?
The cheese looks awesome. My mom used to sing the "You made me love you" song to me all the time. She can't carry a tune in a bucket, but you made me all nostalgic anyway.
bring back some good ideas for sacramento. and yes i want to read your pro-taco truck rant!!
