Days 16, 17 & 18: Where the Tourists Are, or, Where I Don't Want to Be

I apologise for the handwritten entry (and for the quality of the writing, both in form and content), but it's the only way I could maintain the blog and keep doing things in Paris. Click the images to enlarge.

    I get a slight sense of you 'hitting the wall' with this latest post. You've come so far, but still have far to go - and getting the right balance between constructing, experiencing and recording each adventure can become demanding (even James and I felt this on our micro-trip!)

    Might almost be time for a day of no planning, no writing and not too much doing, if you can squeeze it in.

    Hope all the distractions haven't impaired your Oscar-selecting abilities.

    Yes, you're right Dad. I'm not physically exhausted or anything, but mentally probably a bit overwhelmed. I look forward to writing about my visit to the Palais Garnier last night, though. That was really something.

    Maybe I'll wait until London to write again.

    But, as you'll see from my email, my Oscar-selecting abilities are in fine shape...

    Hey Tim,

    I really enjoyed the description of the library. Even though there's stuff you didn't get to see, it sounds like you still saw and experienced a huge amount of what Paris has to offer and were so lucky that Jicky was such a good guide. Hope the trip to Neice goes well. I loved driving across France (to Switzerland and also around Brittany). It's such a beautiful country and the landscape is so different to Australia. Looking forward to the next installment!

    I have enjoyed your travel blog so much I have printed it out and given it to all the members of my congregation.

    Thanks heaps Cath! You would have loved the library, i think. And I've just done my first drive from Paris to Dijon. Once out of Paris it was lovely. But driving in Paris was one of the least pleasant experiences of my life. Just revolting. But that's a whole other story.
    And Lodge, who are you???

    Mr Clark, I'm a man of magic, a juggler of small children and visionary creator of animal-shaped sick-up puddles.
