All good things must come to an end

it is my last day in Paris. It is my 30th birthday. The last few days I've seen more art, but also experienced more of Paris - the kinds of things most people don't get to do on vacation. I don't have time to go into it all just now - I'm going shopping today ... Happy Birthday to me! -

but the highlights include:

-dinner with an old libertine ex-pat, a couple who lives 1/2 the year in Paris and the other in Portland (he's in the Peace Corp) and a former Hustler editor/journalist/current talent agency owner Texan who now lives in Shreveport, LA

-a request from the texan to come back to my hotel for a "show" he'd direct

-overcoming the height fear and going to the top of the Eiffel Tower

-a tour of St. Germain & Monmartre with a gay cabaret performer, dinner at his home with some friends and drinks in 2 Parisian lesbian bars


I will supplement and add pictures soon.

And now -- shopping!!!
