Paris Tourists…
According to our “Misfits” (like a Fitbit but for people who are non-conformist, left-leaning and free-thinking) we walked 10 miles today. I think that was entirely within the Louvre. We saw the usual suspects there: Mona, Venus, Jesus (x100) et…

Oooops. Every trip has one (Apparently)
OOOOppps. Clearly, every trip is gonna have one. Sometimes it may relate to the bus itself. Sometimes to the accoutrements. On this particular sojourn, a couple already. Ooops #1. The VERY FIRST toll booth (on the Chicago Skyway) would not…
