Awesome car shots (and others) in Paris. They remind me that anyone making a trip to the beautiful city should strongly consider taking a dinner cruise on the River Seine. Memories that last a lifetime.....

Day 15: First day without the car: preparing my return to The States
Day 15: First day without the car: preparing to return to the States
In retrospective, out of every place i have been during this trip: Paris would be my favorite place: There is a certain "Je ne sais Quoi" about it! Despite all the traffic jam and city driving risks, there are just so many potential... I love Paris !! D15-01 New born Found next to trash cans: D15-02 Face seems untouched... D15-03 D15-04 but upon further inspection, it has been beaten... what kind of parents!! But no worries, this baby will remain strong throughout its life.. tough beginning: or D15-06 And to be honest, the rear isn't its best aspect: D15-07 Lunchtime with my Granma: D15-17 D15-18 D15-19 Without the F30, it was a boring day! i had to find something else other than driving to occupy my time, D15-08 so Fast forward to Thursday night, a little night out with my cousin and friends: D15-09 Typical French Food on my next to last night in France: D15-10 D15-11 The place had a nice ambience with people chatting until past midnight... until all of us kinda got tired, and so the place had quickly emptied itself by 1am. D15-12 Very chill place to spend time, will hopefully comeback, so this is only an "Au Revoir" D15-13 Quiet Streets of Paris at night: D15-14 D15-15 D15-16

Day 16: My Last Full day in Paris: Shopping time ;)
Without the F30 and with the E30 being stored away: i happily had to ride the metro/subway:
D16-01 I sadly didn't have time to have a photos of my car taken here, it was on the plan, but the clock was ticking away so fast: it would have to be for the next ED. D16-02 also on my shopping list: D16-03 This made me laugh so much !! it was mind boogling that people would line up to go in this store: Can you guess which one it is ?? no it's not Guess... D16-04 Really ?? people ?? I guess French people (excluding me) are currently having Hots for AB, it's one of the most desirable fashion clothes overthere... if you want to be popular and be in the "IN" crowds, just accessorize yourself in those, if possible with Red pants apparently.. It's just so common in the States, but then again Young French people are all so in love with the American Culture... D16-05 Moving along the Famous Parisian avenue: D16-06 With my precious purchase, i didn't want to risk being mugged going underground, so i choose to ride the bus home, and what do i see? a fellow car enthusiast enjoying his Friday driving in Paris: D16-07 I told the bus driver to follow that car! D16-08 But we were one person too many on the bus to keep up: D16-09 We had to satisfy ourselves with chasing only BMW: D16-10 Did i mention that i love springtime in Paris: D16-11 Sadly being on the bus, we could not stop to the smell the roses: D16-12 At the end of the bus line, i had to finish by foot, and wish this was chasing me: D16-13 Again, Not the first time seeing this during my trip: D16-14 Paris's latest pride, and in full expansion: tramway going around the city, and chasing cars out! D16-15

Day 17: the day of my return
I tried but i couldnt:
Having saved the water bottles from the Welt, i wanted to bring them back to the States, but my luggages were much more than full, they were overweight and about to explode out of their zippers, i just couldn't afford to stuff two bottles of water in, Therefore those had to be left behind: My Breakfast that my Mom prepared before we leave for the airport: ... lovingly preparing before her son leaves: Thanks Mom, you are the best! Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers, you are all the best, somehow/someway: After 24hours of travelling (door-to-door), 12hours of flight: Finally made it back to LAX, with my dear dear dear true love, my more than GF, my everything, (aside from Mom): And with my other love: my Dear Sister who is soon making me an uncle:
