jolie Paris!

Shifa and I escaped to Paris and visited Claire!


We did all the wonderful touristy, Parisian things...

















Such as... posing on the bank of the Seine,


and photographing the Eiffel Tower several times:







Afternoon,













Evening,













Twilight? *












Dusk?














Dusk-er...

















And night - note the twinkling!









(*does twilight come before dusk, or the other way around?)




At the Louvre:

















Shifa is quite the refined art critic.

















This man seems to have put a dagger into his thigh?


















Islamic art at the Louvre


















Boogie 'til you puke?!


















Peek-a-boo!

















Yee-ouch!






















I am French sculpture.


















Oh, Mona. Why are you so famous?




















At the Musee d'Orsay, which was (disappointingly!) closed



















The Arab World Institute in Paris, not as relevant as we'd hoped...























Claire et moi in front of the Sacre Coeur
















The view of Paris at Montmartre

















Montmartre

















So many steps!


















Shifa LOVES crepes, and really -- who can blame her?


















If you know French, you get it.
If you don't, this is REALLY funny. Trust me.
(Okay, so maybe it's not THAT funny...)


















Why hasn't coffee-capitalism reached Fez yet?























One more bottle of red for the road. I opened this with a pen. Who said I didn't learn anything relevant at UMBC?

















Back to Fez, yikes!



Au revoir, jolie Paris.

One of these things is not like the others...

Blogger seems to have inserted a picture of a door in Meknes into my Paris entry all on it's on own, and has labeled it Montmartre?! I won't fix it because apparently, it's out of my control. When you click on the misplaced picture, the correct image shows up in a different window.

Interesting, very interesting.

And by Meknes, of course I meant Volubiliss.
