I've been in contact with my good friends the Michalchuks from their home in Calgary and it sounds like everything is off to a good start in the Canadian Rockies. Some of the resorts are already open and some of the more anticipated openings are only a couple weeks away. Probably the one thing I miss the most so far besides family, friends and great food is a solid mountain session with the Bros and the Winnipeg crew.
A few nights ago Ryan, Brandice and I went out to tour the Champs Élysées area and visit it's many high end shops. We found some seriously cool stores like a giant Nike store and a Citroën display room. For those not familiar with the Euro car scene, Citroën is a french car manufacturer. We also saw a Lamborghini shop which we will be exploring later this week. Some of the other neat shops we saw were all high end clothing stores that you probably couldn't step into unless you were wearing Armani head to toe. That evening was the first time that we got to fully experience Les Champs Élysées the way it should be experienced; all the trees along the way were decked with beautiful white-ish blue lights for as far as the eye could see. We are experienced. We were in full exploration mode that evening which is what brought us to a building that assisted us in a view to remember forever. We went up to the roof of a building just off Champs Élysées and discovered the Eiffel Tower only a dozen blocks away doing its strobe light display, it was glorious.
Yesterday evening Brandice and I went to the Père Lachaise cemetery to visit Jim Morrison and hopefully take a few photos. Sadly, we arrived at the cemetery just in time for the clouds to roll in and take away our lighting. We visited Jim and left. We were cold so we went to a nearby coffee shop to enjoy a café au lait, it was the best coffee I've had so far on this trip. If my memory serves me correctly I think that was the night that Brandice, Ryan and I went out to Notre Dame to grab some quick photos and ended up at Hôtel de Ville where those two got a sweet Lion photo shoot session... photo:

the shops sounds awesome. Nike wow I can see a lot of these pics on the wall in your mom and dad's basement along side the pool table. Miss you
Is that pepper for real?
The lion photo looks like it was fun sitting up there. The balcony shot is
tres bon.
A beautiful HDR touch. :)
no mom, we saw that two peppers were cut perfectly in half so we just put them side by side and took a photo. I would be scared if they could make two-colored peppers. Haha, you should have seen the look on their faces when they were up on the lions... that was a fun night
