I wont say how many shots I took to get this 'effect' but suffice it to say I was lucky to be alone.
Today I landed in Paris. Not yet hot, not yet full of tourists (but starting to show up) and the receptionist, who upon asking me 'Poly vou françois?', replied to my 'no' with "I am sorry."
Now, that could be considered rude but really its just being Parisien. Truth be told, I am sorry, too. Something to work on right after re-honing (and improving greatly) my Spanish.
After checking into Le Meridien Etoile and taking a power nap and then jet lag cleansing shower, I took Charlie and walked around a bit. Turns out Charlie wanted to see some of my favorite places and he was hungry, so I took him to 'Cafe Deux Magot'. This is my favorite area in Paris and one where I would like to get Maddie to agree to purchasing a studio flat in. Man oh man is this be best location:

Its the arty district, right next door to the Latin Quarter for the music; EASY walking distance to both the Louvre and the Superior Musee D'Orsay. Lots of funky cafes (including my favorite) and now loads of high brow shopping: Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany - all on the same 'corner'. (It's a five way intersection - there is a load of 'corners').
So after a Croque Madame, we (Charlie and I) wandered over to get a few shots of the Arch de Triumph. Paris knows how to light up a night time sky. I will spare you the hundred other shots I took that are almost identical to each other. No really I will.
Expect some updates as tomorrow I head to Morocco and then return to Paris for more fun. Check the Picassa page for more pics of Charlie and Paris.
