| Au revoir . . .a tout a l'heure |
This isn't a dive trip. However, I will be immersing myself . . . in history and culture. I will have my picture taken with the Eiffel Tower in the background. I will cruise down the Seine. Mayhap I will wonder at Mona Lisa's smile and be amazed that the actual painting is small. I hope to eat snails and drink wine at Chateauneuf de Pape. The sea at Nice will be too cool for swimming. Perhaps I'll lose some money in Monaco. I shall tread where Romans trod, at the theatre in Orange, and stare agog at the Roman architectural ingenuity of Pont du Gard. I must be one of the luckiest people I know. A bientot, mes amis. Jeu gentil. |

Big deal. I'm heading out Sunday to Vegas for 3 days where I'll see the Eiffel Tower and lose money too. I'll cruise down the Strip and wonder at Lady Luck's malicious grin. No snails, but we're planning on sushi one night and Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill for Cinco de Mayo. At least I won't have to put up with French people and the overpriced Euro. |

Or at least eat them with a lighter Burgundy, not a full bodied Rhone. If I were a rich Canuck like Sherryl, I'd hire a wine- knowledgeable starving American to accompany her as personal sommelier and food taster. I don't need to taste the escargot, though, since everyone already knows they taste just like snails. |
