Paris
March 25, 2008
I just had a wonderful 3 days in Paris with some friends. I decided spare of the moment to go with them, since I am technically still on vacation, and I would rather not hang around Amsterdam while I'm off.
One of the highlights was attending the Easter service in Notre Dame. It was so interesting, I really enjoyed it! The mass was in several different languages, including some English. What I understood, I found beautiful. I've always been fascinated by Catholicism...
A very smooth Parisian guy tried to pickpocket me, but I caught him! It was very well attempted, but he didn't quite pull it off, so he got yelled at by an angry American (me)!
We visited the Eiffel Tower, but didn't go up because the lines were enormous.

a present for you.....
Dear prodigal you are my son and I
Supplied you not in spirit, but your shape.
All Eden's wealth arrayed before your eyes,
I fathomed not you wanted to escape.
And though I only ever gave you love,
Like every child you've chosen to rebel.
Uprooted flow'rs and filled the holes with blood,
ask not for whom they toll, the solemn bells.
A child of dust, to mother now return,
for every seed must die before it grows.
And though above the world may toil and turn,
No prying spades will find you here below.
Now safe beneath their wisdom and their feet.....
Here I will teach you truly how to sleep.....
