Now back in Atlanta, I (Chris) have processed the panorama photos. I've inserted them into the appropriate posts here, so please go back (e.g. start at the beginning) and look for the super-wide photos -- most days have one or two of the panorama shots.
They really need to be viewed large to be appreciated. However, even after clicking to enlarge them they're not that big, so if you happen to be using the Firefox browser, try the Ctrl-+ (control plus) key combo to tell your browser to enlarge the photo (and text and everything). Use Ctrl-- (control minus) to reduce back down.
Or come visit us in Atlanta and we'll show you the pictures :)
The weather was absolutely fantastic for the entirety of the trip in four different regions, most of which are not necessarily known for sunny weather! However that unseasonably warm weather meant we were over dressed, and the heavy coats we had packed took up room we could have used for more lighter cothing options. Oh well, better too warm than too cold.
Losses / wasted money:
- $50 in wasted museum fares in Paris due to poor communications with ticket agent
- $45 on surly Aix cab because we missed $10 bus ride to train station
- $100 sunglasses left in same cab
- $10 and unnecessary grief thanks to Metro ticket machines never working; damn you Paris RER train system!
We're glad to be back home, where we can resume our usual activities (lately) -- working on our new house ...
