pu-too-ey

my little sister lizzy went to france for spring break.

i now know the paris metro map as well as…anything that i know well. i stayed in montmarte 4 blocks away from the moulin rouge and sex-shop land, right down the hill from some big, famous, white church thing, and up a street from where the long greasy haired french “skaters” who spit (a lot) going “pu-too-ey” very frenchlike, hung out.

but the purpose of the trip? it’s where jim morrison is buried.

i was led to his grave without a map by the connection of the psyche and when i looked at where his remains lay at rest without the chaos and confliction of the active mind, everything glowed.

our mom brought me back a neat little miró print.

awww, brittaa!!! that wasn't nice. :-D

It is hard enough being a teenager... you don't need big sis handing the secret (well, that is the online, available to anyone) diary key out.

I imagine lizzy is running through her entries now making them private.

*too many secrets* :-)

ha britt it's fine. it is the internet. i actually didn't have any "secrets" on there. and it's not any big deal at all not even a small deal i don;t care if she reads it. i'm glad you enjoyed my account of the trip. lala

I was at the top of Montmarte last summer. I even went into that white church your sister is talking about. Anyways, the view from that hill is just splendid. Regarding the subway lines, I still have my "Paris Circulation" Featuring "RUES avec sens unique", 'lignes d'autobus", "Metro, RER, SNCF", you get my point.
