Dipping at The Eiffel Tower

Lindsay and I have a tradition of taking "dipping" pictures. It all started at a girl's Bible study nine years ago. Lindsay and I were goofing off, and one of ours friends snapped a really cool shot. Ever since then at different events, the dip picture had to be taken. It's tradition! We even have one at Lindsay's wedding (I'll post it sometime). But having the dip picture taken at the Eiffel Tower is surreal. This has photo has now become my favorite!

Musée du Louvre

Here are Lindsay's pictures...we are American tourists!

Which one is the real Charlie?

Everyone plays volleyball...everyone.

Art Shopping at Montmartre

We took pictures from the artists we bought from.

I tried the pistachio

it was...interesting.

After our ice cream break, we went back to buy some more art. You would be surprised at how much brain energy it takes to pick out the perfect painting for a reasonable price... and you have to talk with all the artists... there is a language barrier...and our time was limited because we had to catch a train to Angers.

I think maybe I choose the art pieces I did just because I like the artists so much!

Sheppard Airshow

My work buds and I went to the Sheppard Airshow Saturday. The Canadian Snowbirds were the main attraction.

This is the tall, (fairly) good looking pilot that Em and I visited with and whom (is whom right?)my mom blogged about. He was actually very polite, talked with us for quite a while, and answered all our questions. He just didn't like Texas, which is fine - New York isn't on my top ten either.

This is the goofy Canadian pilot who was very pleased to take a picture with me.

The Snowbirds were cool, but this guy was by far the most entertaining. All the same, the F-15E that I don't have a picture of stole the show (or maybe my heart).

This man is from Amarillo. I got his business card, so I can contact him to contact me the next time he's at a fly-in in Oklahoma, so he can fly me around!

P-51 Mustang!


All of us.

A few more Paris pics

Eventually, I'll get copies of the other pictures. I've been trying to hold out!

Basilique du Sacre Coeur

People eating in the street - very common (not so much in Duncan)

I took lots of Motorcycle pics.

Sleepy heads

Catherine and Craig took us to the metro station to get us all sorted out on metro passes. I love this pic, because it shows how sleepy we were - hour 34.
