The Famous Mona Lisa. Your not supposed to take pictures inside of the Louvre. I snapped this one real quick. I didn't want to take the chance of getting a better one because they were confiscating Film and memory cards.

Yeah, and on a geek forum, that would be suicide.

She can be the OP of my IRC channel anytime, if you know what I mean.

Nice pics! The protective frame around the Mona Lisa is ridiculously huge. I wonder why?

This is a video of Traffic Circle around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris France I call it the Traffic Circle of Death. I drove through this traffic circle in a VW Minivan, not by choice.

Those are some nice pics of Paris, thanks for sharing them. My wife wants to know what you thought of the people there in Paris. We've heard they can be a little on the rude side, especially if you don't speak the lingo.



If it's not fixed, then don't broke it!

The area we were in was the tourist area, so they were pretty friendly, because they want your money. While we were there we rode around on the subway. Paris is like NY or any other big city in the states. Lots of different races, Asians, whites, blacks, Middle Eastern, you name it they live in Paris. They are a little snobby about using French. They will speak to you in French even if you speak to them in English. I don't recall anyone being Rude about it. I have no problem being rude back, so thats not really a problem for me. I know the F word in 5 languages so Bring It On!!! Paris is probably one of my favorite cities in Europe. There is just so much there to see, and so much history.
