Paris, London and Oxford.......

Hi, Guys.

Wanted to let you know that I shall be leaving for Paris the 3rd of Nov, via Montreal and Ottawa; and then leaving Paris for London the 10th and visiting Oxford... (I had suggested that I had friends there when el was considering LSE)..... probably going to have a pub lunch on remembrance day in Oxford, same day there...lol... and steak and kidney pie and Cornish pasties....ughhh; returning to Ottawa the 12th.

Probably catch a play in London... for a change, heard 'wicked' was playing.. and some curry!!! maybe fish and chips, although the last time this was really bad...; and hopefully will have some fun in Paris in Nov... a rainy and cold month when the airfares are cheap.... or cheaper...... yes, I shall go to some museums and sites, but looking forward to the cheese, for us lactose intolerants, probably an exciting adventure, and the brasseries (Lipp, Dome and Coupole), and cafes in the Quartier Latin..... Ste Germaine and St Michel. Believe impressionism at Rodan, L'Orangerie and Quay D'Orsay are also must sees... and some great 'open markets', but don't know if the weather will cooperate. Book stores... FNAC on rue moutard....lol.... it's all about food, isn't it?

If you have suggestions, let me know. I shall be eating at Senderens on the 4th, a three star restaurant giving up its stars and getting into a big debate with respect to 'who owns the stars' and 'whether the chef can give it up'. The chef, Alain Senderens is one of the original 'inventors' of nouvelle cuisine and have restaurants all over the world, including HKG, NYC, London.... It used to be called Lucas Carton, when it was three stars... I think he/restaurant probably became more famous because of that.....hahahahaha.... Now rated as 2 stars.... of course the chef doesn't own the stars.... E$150 for table d'hote.... ughhhh, but have to do it....

Only Italy left I think... no,... haven't been to Germany for Oktoberfest... hear the Germans hate it... and the Nordic places.... raw herring... ughhh..... have a relative in Switzerland and another in Sweden, but.... not close.....

love u and since u guys are in Tor. anyways, no sense leaving any more info.....
