See if you can e-mail some to me. Paris, aah I've always wanted to visit, maybe someday I'll just dump my wife and kids and go on this tour myself. Just kidding. Did you have an oppertunity to check out the Louvre in Paris? That is if you like art. Anyway enjoy your self, and don't forget your SALAAT. looking forward to more of your postings. Allah Hafiz. Salaam Alaikum,

You get to purchase an expensive O2. I would get until you can get a phone from Vodafone. I don't believe there is one in Switzerland, but certainly in Spain and the remainder you can buy them Your experiences are very interesting. I enjoy them a lot. The other thing that is nice but highly tourist trap is going to Moulin Rouge and the other cabarets. It is about 150 euro for bottle of champagne. During my time in Europe, I learnt that baguettes and fresh squeezed orange juice goes a long way. Keep up the good work cheers Carlos & Vivian Kalid, Don’t buy a sim card in France.

Just kidding, really I am just jealous of your freedom and opportunity for adventure and frolic. I also miss complaining to you about my daily foibles. The other day my car got towed in front of Fordam road. After yelling at the parking jerks who saw me parking there but of course 'failed' to have the courtesy to warn me...I hopped into a gypsy cab to the tow pound and low and behold while on the bruckner I saw my car in the back of the tow truck and basically followed it the rest of the way. and of course, being so timely, i had to wait for them to complete the paperwork before i could get it back. how insulting. all in all, another $300 down the drain. indeed i will fight it. how did i just make your blog all about me? well that's what i do best my friend. seriously, enjoy, have the time of your life, be safe. i will enjoy hearing about your travels as i study and slave away the rest of the summer.

There maybe parts of your DNA that are hard to let go as you traverse. Keep up the dialog...it's great and you're very eloquent... Cheers!
