France

July 1999

A whirlwind tour of Paris.

On a trip to Belgium and Scotland for work I had some down time in between countries and took a day-trip to Paris with my boss. Suffice it to say that by the end of that day I had seen enough of France to last me a lifetime. It was overcrowded with tourists and the locals were so rude and unhelpful. Since that trip I’ve spent a night here and there in Paris while traveling to, through, or from Europe. I’m still convinced it’s not all it is cracked up to be. Some day I do plan on giving France another shot at redemption but it is pretty low on my list.

While I was in Paris I did get to see all the highlights one would expect like the Eiffel Tower; which at the time was counting down to the Millennium.

Sorry for the bad quality of the photos, but these photos were taken with one of the first digital cameras that came out on the market.
