After arriving in Paris 8 hours late, it was off to dinner and Pigalle. But first, the escapade. We were approximately 1 hour past Nova Scotia, and both long range radios failed on the aircraft. We then made a u-turn and headed to Atlanta.... remember, we started from Cincinnati. Got to Atlanta and changed planes, and 1 1/2 hours later we are back in the air.
Pigalle saw us bar/cafe hopping and dodging rain drops. The weather in Paris made it seem more like London. Nonetheless? I was truly impressed with a French Honey Beer. It is from the Alsace wine region and I cannot remember the name. Now that we are in Strasbourg (the Alsace region) I will definitely try to discover this wonderful taste again. We did experience "beer flambè" last night. Take a large marguarita style glass, add 2 shots of some highly flamable liquor, and then pour in some Erdlinger Weiss Bier. The taste is incredible.... and the spectacle is something else as well.
That's today's report for now. Limited access to Internet so reports may be sparse. Also, ignore any misspellings... this damn French keyboard has the letters in the wrong position :-(
Two more days in Strasbourg, then off to Heidelberg and Frankfurt, with the ultimate come Sunday.... Munchen.
