bobalucci: December 2008
The trip to Saudi got cancelled, the trip to Israel got delayed a week and the trip to Montreal morphed into a trip to Paris. So here I am in Paris having spent the weekend wandering around the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles, this being my first time here for about 10 years (the last time being the weekend Australia won the Cricket world cup in 1999, which I watched from a Pakistani bar in Paris - not sure I would do that these days...).
A little hard to plan activities around all of that (including my activities for Paris this weekend given how busy I was during the week) but I have managed somehow and even managed to get a trip in to the Rioja to go winetasting last weekend which was thoroughly enjoyable.

The best laid plans
A few weeks back when chatting with my parents I mentioned that I was scheduled to spend a week in Saudi Arabia, a week in Israel and then a week in Montreal. Naturally enough I did none of those things.The trip to Saudi got cancelled, the trip to Israel got delayed a week and the trip to Montreal morphed into a trip to Paris. So here I am in Paris having spent the weekend wandering around the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles, this being my first time here for about 10 years (the last time being the weekend Australia won the Cricket world cup in 1999, which I watched from a Pakistani bar in Paris - not sure I would do that these days...).
