France - Paris Part Deux

Here are some more pictures of our wanderings through Paris. I paid the city a visit twice, once with Mazen and Wafaa, and a second time with my friend Hung (aka Bobo).

Here's a park that Bobo and I biked through one day..

Bobo started really getting into his picture taking.. he'd get low.. fiddle around with the settings.. take a few shots.. then complain about his sister's camera.. I decided to photograph the perfectionist at work.

Bobo and I also headed over to an area called La Defense.. It's like a mini-city on its own.. Lots of skyscrapers.. big businesses.. and interesting architecture.

Before reaching our destination we devoured a lovely sandwich.. It was the best 3.50 Euros I spent.. Fresh bread.. fresh juicy tomatoes.. chunks of tasty chicken.. crisp lettuce.. mixed in with some eggsalad.. ahh.. it really hit the spot..

And finally we made it.. There were hardly any tourists here which was quite refreshing.
