Eglise Saint Sulpice:
| I had to take the exterior shot at a high angle because there was a large Christmas (2005) market filling the entire plaza in front of the church.
This is my wife's favorite church in Paris. She favours underdogs and lost animals (thus she married me?) and this church feels a bit neglected inside. Perhaps that's why it is her favorite.
Just inside the front doors is the font of holy water in a gigantic sea shell (tridacna gigas). We thought it was cool, commented on it and moved on.
Two weeks later we see another one in Monacco in the Oceanographic Museum and think, "Hmm. That's a coincidence." Then we read the plaqu next to it that says this is one half of the largest Giga ever found and the other half is used as a font in St. Sulpice in Paris. |

| | All these country pavilions are staffed with exchange students from the host countries. This one of course is staffed by many tall blondes. We stopped to talk to our waitress and she told us all about Norway and working at Disney World. Sounds like a great job! |

SS Palo Alto Concrete Ship:
| You can only see the ship from within the park and there is a $6 'use fee' to enter the park. If you tell fee collector at the front gate that you just want to go in to see the ship and that you are not staying they'll let you drive in without paying. You can also park in a snady lot around the block to the south along the fence and walk in a permanent open gate if you are staying longer.
The main street in Seacliff is also the site of 'The Shortest Parade in the US" on each 4th of July. A full blown parade that goes two very short blocks, about 100 yards or less.

| | I visited this site today. There is a row of construction trailers to the west. I talked to some of the crew there and they said the site was a former Redy-Mix cement plant, that it was owned by Yager (?) Winery, and that the site was soon to be developed for a large shopping center. |
