Surfer Bob has always wanted to go to Paris, with or without marrow. Last week he went without.
He had to have an iconic picture taken in front of the Eiffel Tower, a la the Travelocity gnome or the yard gnome in "Amelie". He hit all the hot spots, the Louvre, Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe. Pretty much saw as much as he could in 4 days. Of course, he ate his way through Paris. The boulangeries were amazing. What happen to the cheese course in the restaurants? They don't exist any more. Paris is getting so modern. There are too many museums to see them all in a short time so a rainy Sunday found Bob at the Musee D'orsay, a veritable who's who of Impressionist artist. The collection makes the Art Institute of Chicago or the Met look second tier. And everyone in Paris was there to enjoy free museum day. A trip to Paris would not be complete without some evening culture. The ballet was performing at the Opera Garnier. The opera house was built in the mid 19th century and is a rococo wonder. Here Surfer Bob does his best impression of the phantom.
There's no telling where Bob will turn up next.
