Me and the Christmas tree Judith and I erected this afternoon. It is small but it gives some Christmas spirt to the apartment.

More of Napoleon III's apartment. The Louvre is free on Friday nights which is quite nice. Tonight there were weird dances going on. It was rather bizzare and I wasn't able to get a good enough view to take a photo but rest assured it was rather strange and quite French.


You've seen the pictures of it during the day but now you get to see the Louvre at night. Exciting, isn't it?


Me and Masha of whom I am working with on an expose about Turkemistan.


I actually had a real Thanksgiving! I was a bit sad when I didn't have any plans but then I heard of the feast my friend Mya was cooking. Quite the feast it was. It truly was a proper American thanksgiving in the middle of Paris.


Alan and Masha chattin' it up

The Moulin Rouge


Tiffany, a friend from high school was in town today so we met up and went all over the city. This is us at the top of Sacre Coeur.


Rossa giddy as a school girl thinking Kerry won Missouri. Stupid CNN not getting the facts straight!


Rossa and Kate after singing some Frank Sinatra.


Rossa and me


Election night! They closed off this one street and all the bars were showing the results and people were just hanging out in the street. I was interviewed by French TV!

Chris and myself


Me and a canal!


Chris and the view of Bologna.


Me and the view of Bologna. Please note the diagonal zipper track jacket.


Bologna as seen from the top of the tower.


View with mountains in the background.


So I went to Italy this weekend. Chris lives in Bologna so I decided I should pay him a visit. We were the town square when I noticed a syringe on the sidewalk. Why not take a photo of a syringe on a sidewalk in Italy?
