The real story's over on Paris through my lens which is an offshoot of Birmingham Alabama Daily Photo, run by a hoot of a woman running under the name of Virginia Jones (*That's how she talks. I'll admit to not understanding a lot..)
The other version's up at YMBFA, but here's a brief summary:
- Fly to Paris at sparrow's fart
- Collect Virginia's friend Mary (Queen of
ArkansasCincinatti) at CDG - Escort her into town
- Following Mary's instructions, enter Virginia's (supposed) apartment block and ascend to 3rd floor before determining that the whole structure is a building site in imminent danger of collapse
- Collect Virginia
- Drink coffee
- Walk around in circles (Place de Bastille circumnavigated twice...) looking for Peter the Divine and Owen
- Have lunch
- Discover multiple artists' ateliers. All closed.
- Walk around Place des Vosges (in circles...) looking for Peter the Divine and Owen. Again.
- Discover a musical instrument shop beyond belief
- Go to the airport
- Get bumped off my flight
- Get home at some ungodly hour
- Miss all the soccer matches
