sights that were seen.....

ok, so.... a limited list of folks that we found too funny for words.....for starts...the woman with the red high-tops and red backpack...read this as a hikers backpack with a sleeping bag attached...who got off the train at gare st.lazare....clutching a plastic carrier that held a......rabbit......wtf?......this woman appeared to have her pet rabbit as her traveling companion.....and then there was the woman ahead of us in the customs line in atlanta with a cat in a carrier....who replied, when asked if she had a cat, said icily...'yes..it is a cat with 4 legs and a tail....'...which did not strike me as something a true cat lover would have said......and then there was the guy who looked like fat bastard from austin powers.....wearing an austin powers t-shirt in line for his seat(s)....how cliche......the shoe style these days in paris appears to be retro...really retro...to when courtiers wore really pointed toe shoes...so pointy that the toes pointed up...there were shoes like this in many of the store windows.....and they looked comical to me.....until i saw real men wearing this style and i realized that they did not get the joke.....speaking of jokes....i photographed a pair of cream-colored high-tops that were on sale for 180 euros.....roughly $270.....what a joke..../..
