So asteres wants to know something happy about the day of everyone on his friends list. Fine. Don't blame me if it makes you feel depressed.

I found out yesterday about a one-day sale with insanely low fares to London on British Airways, emailed Mom, within four hours, we had tickets for ten days in London in December. And Mom suggested spending a couple of days in Paris this time.

Going abroad twice in six months. I feel so incredibly weird and yet so cosmopolitan at the same time.

Following up to myself, of course, I should add that if I were *intelligent* I'd start practicing my writing so I could write about travel, and then I could take it off my taxes and get some small benefit from the occasional sale.

There are fiction writers that take travel for "research" off their taxes, too.

But I've got my camera, and plan on using it when possible, and maybe something good will come of that. I think I'm trying to figure out the most picturesque bits of Paris to go to, which is pretty hard because as far as I can tell, it's *all* picturesque.

Hmmm. In my opinion, avoid the Eiffel Tower. I really like La Defense (although that's more something you see from the freeway), all the new buildings... The metro stations have some gorgeous murals, and I really enjoyed Pere Lachaise Cemetary (Where Jim Morrison is buried, but he's NOT the best part). In fact, you could spend a week there ALONE.
Also I wanted to see the catacombs, but apparently they have specific hours.
Yes, the entire city is picturesque in different ways.
OH and the Luxembourg Gardens are pretty sweet, as well.
