The hotel

Interesting place. Park Inn Nice. Very clean, very very small. Staff was friendly.

Unfortunely I couldn't sleep there. The adapter I got from Radio Shack burned out. I then managed to blow out all the lights in the room. I couldn't get the computer or internet to work. The Treo wouldn't work.

I freaked.

nothing I needed to survive worked. I begged Rich to get me home. I am not sure what he told American but they changed my flight without charging me but told him I needed a doctor to write a letter that I could fly.

The shopping center

The only problem with the hotel was that they did not have 24 hour food service. Breakfast was expensive but very good and very French.

After we got the doctor thing done we needed to eat. We got the hotel shuttle and the driver suggested the shopping center.

Very interesting. One of the things affecting my sleeping is the cigarette smoke. Everyone seems to smoke everywhere and constanty.

The smoke also makes everything look dirty.

There were dogs in the shopping center. The dogs in France are interesting. Our dogs in public are much more physically fit and groomed better. It is not a real fair comparison because the dogs I see in public are usually competing in something.

Our meal was very good there. We had Pepsi Max which is there diet pepsi. Lasagna Bolonese . It was a lot cheaper than breakfast.

We went to the grocery before we left the shopping center. I found gummy bears, mostly to aggravate Rich, diet coke, and some wonderful chocalate.

Of course, we could not operate the phones but got someone to dial and get the shuttle.

One really bad thing happened there. We saw a man on the floor being restrained by police and covered in blood.

Absolute trip from h***

I'm coming home tomorrow as the trip has been the absolute trip from hell.

I should have gotten off the plane in Dallas, and the trip just kept getting worse and worse.

Somehow Rich convinced American Airlines to put me on a flight to Zurick and back to Dallas tomorrow after noon.

More details on my diabetes blog when I get back.
