Catching Up

Today is the French version of Labor Day so I have the day off, and so do most people. Except the restaurant workers. Most of the cafes and bars are still open today, which is good, since I wanted to find a decent cafe to use the wifi connection for free (except the price of my lunch I guess) They're are a lot of blocked off streets, and you can definitely feel that it's a holiday and most people have the day off. I'm sitting in Le Tabac du Chatelet. It looks pretty much like an american bar, but with more tables. There is also a big cigarrette counter like in Amelie with a girl sitting behind it. She doesn't look like the lady in Amelie though. Hehehe.

I'll post all of the pictures that I have been meaning to post, because the connection is much better, and it's free so if it does take a long time it's not like I'll be paying for the time. The next couple are from the day that I saw that big headache statue, as ma said.

This cracked me up when I saw it. Its funny to think that all over the world, whenever someone sees a really dirty car, they'll write the same thing on in.

This was inside St. Eustace, I would really like to hear the pipe organs in all of these old churches. I'm sure that they're pretty amazing. I wonder if this one was still operational. I saw on "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery channel that it can take up to 20 years to clean and repair a big pipe organ, since there are so many pipes in them and it can be a delicate process. And that would be some very old dust inside there.

The ceilings inside was extremely high, like most old churches. All that open space above your head makes it feel like God is really floating around up there.

Candles.
