It’s as much fun as it looks. It’s possibly more fun than it looks. I never wanted to get off. I did it as part of a tour of Paris. It was 70 euro , or about $105, so not cheap, but worth it.

The trip back was fraught with difficulties, but the trip was amazing and well worth it. Paris is a beautiful and vibrant city.

Expensive, but not difficult. I’d also have to say that the passport came surprisingly quickly.

I got…some. I guess the goal now is to get more and upgrade it.

I actually got a Sigma 50-150 2.8 EX. It’s not the same lens, but it’s in the category I wanted, so I’m calling it.

Maybe I was harsh on Alfred, maybe it wasn’t that bad. Maybe. But you know what? It really did suck, not for everyone perhaps, but definitely for me. I called Alfred a “Redneck Wonderland”. It was—and if you like Nascar, hunting, snowmobiles and country music, you just might like it. I’ve always considered myself more of a city person. The things I like, well, they weren’t there. It doesn’t matter anymore, I got out. I live in Hartford, Connecticut now. It’s not heaven, but it’s oh-so-much closer, and much much better than where I was.

Its afficianados call the Durian the “King of the Fruits”. I’d call them crazy. I was fortunate enough to find Durian at an Asian Market in Rochester, NY (Lee’s Oriental Foods in the Genesee Regional Market on Jefferson Ave.) It didn’t smell that bad, at first, but got a there a little bit before I ate it. Inside were pockets of custard, with a red seed in the middle of each pocket. This vanilla pudding looking goo is the part you eat. Mine tasted like vanilla custard mixed with rotten onion. Can’t say I loved it , but it was fun to try!

A wonderful and imaginative story. Beautiful writing that makes you think, but you’ll never think up what’s coming next.
