So I'm off to Paris in just over 5 weeks. I've set up this blog for friends and family to check what I've been up to, though I'll still send emails around as well

- 6. Musee Marmottan-Monet, though you can't take any photos
- 7. Tour Montparnasse (expensive, but the view is awesome)
- 8. Sacre Coeur and Montmarte, just watch out for the guys with the wrist bands trying to grab you

Wines I have Tried So Far (and my rating/thoughts)
White Wines
Kir (this is a mixture of white wine and blackcurrent liquor, drunk as an aperitif and is delicious)
Pinot Gris (yummy)
Champagne (not bad, but not Mercier)
Red Wines
Bordeaux (my god, how have I not tried this before now)
Burgundy (yuck)
Pinot Noir (Ok, but it's no bordeaux)
Rose (I suppose this should really be in both the red and the white columns)- this is nice, especially with lunch on a sunny Sunday, not very alcoholic and quite refreshing

Things I Hate About Blogger
- The preview is not actually a preview
- When you add an image it automatically places it at the top of the page
- The spelling is in American so I've been thinking for ages that there was something wrong with the word organise, and not for the life of me being able to work out what it was. (I don't really hate Blogger because of that, Americans do rule the world after all)
