email exerpt: me to my family

"We went to the top of the Eiffel tower last night, and went to the Louvre this afternoon.  The Mona Lisa area was packed, but I was able to stand in tranquility later and gaze at two Vermeer's: the girl doing lace, and the one with the man and the globe.  

One main difference I’ve seen between Edinburgh and Paris, it apparently isn’t considered necessary to have your shoe color match any other color you’re wearing.  This gives you a lot more freedom.  Also, Parisian women wear astounding shoes, with heels almost all the time.  As a whole, they display far less midriff, but a little more shoulder than women at home."
