Great, just great. I try to be nice and what does it get me ? A swift kick to the 'nads - from a clog-wearer, even. Ouch. Well, you can keep your below-sea-level, hashish-smelling, clog-dancing links in the future, so there. Oh, and thanks, Twisty. I was just getting ready to level him with a well-aimed cow - hell, I will anyway. Fetchez la Vache! S. Norman ---

If you make it to Madrid, visit [El Valle de los Caidos](http://www.red2000.com/spain/madrid/tour.html) and see that Franco is, indeed, still dead. ---

If youā€™re interested in Paris museums look into getting a Museum pass. You can buy them at any metro station and not only can they work out cheaperā€“but you get to bypass lots of lines. I was able to walk right into Versaille with no wait even though the regular line was halfway across the courtyard. Same went for the Louvre (and definately enter through the underground entrance and not the main pyramid entrance!) We bought a 3 day pass and it was definately worth itā€“I donā€™t know how long youā€™ll be there, but I seem to remember that they had day passes as well. If you have limited time in Paris though Iā€™d recommend seeing the rest of it rather than going to the Louvre. The Louvre is funā€“but itā€™s crowded and very time-consuming. One book I had (Rick Steves I think) had great walking tours of Paris, Iā€™d strongly recommend doing something like that instead. ---

tater (Ha! I got it right, finally! :p), That sounds great! I would bring green Mormon Jello with the shredded carrots, except I no longer practice the religion. Iā€™ll have my dad whip me up something fantastic to bring. The guy can make shit taste good! I am not sure yet if weā€™ll make it to Dublin, although I really want to try. I guess it all depends on what my British friends have in store for us. They have mentioned Wales, so hopefully I can sneak on over. My dad may make the England trip with us too (he used to live there) so we may stay longer and have the time to get to Ireland. My daughter and I are huge van Gogh junkies (we both just finished the book ā€œDear Theoā€) so that will definitely have to go on our itinerary. > [@](#): > > Sheesh, I wonder why Diane was worried about driving us nuts - personally I believe itā€™s way too late.
