The story of a picture
This might look a bit naive but , let
me tell you, it is alcohol!, it was taken at a pub in Paris, in a bar across
from Place Vendome. I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic
and alternative side of the city.
This picture is a portrait of the memories
I have from my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb
holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything
else, I have had some memorable ones.
It was the year 2008, if I don’t
remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several
problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place
I used to work for and they told me: “here you are”… it was a NICE, FAT
Christmas bonus.
That day, I was with a friend of mine,
and after hearing that I had received my present, she shouted at me, from the
entrance: “Man!!!! Let’s go out!!!”….
Two hours later, we were hiking
around Paris Downtown, we meant to tour as much as posible, getting to see
idilic landscapes and also, both being teachers, we wanted to share with the
locals and not visiting the typical touristic places.
We toured around Montmartre, the
Quartier Latin, and the Quartier de L'Opéra -where the picture was taken. We
spent nearly the whole afternoon walking around, very lost until we ended up in
the strangest bar, where drinks were all related to Hospital which we thought
was very original. From that improvised adventure, there are many stories we
can both tell our children, and other thousand anecdotes, I cannot let you know
in this blog entry’s extension.
How interesting that you decided to see the B side of a city that relates only to romance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny story, I never thought it was alcohol that was in the bottle. I hope I have such good stories to tell in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love your story, specially because you discovered the other Paris and you took advantage of it to the maximum. I hope you can repeat this great and funny experience.
ReplyDeleteFor a moment I thought you would tell us the story of a baby shower!!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about use a bottle for babies and use it to fill them with alcohol for adults and in Paris!!
ReplyDeleteReally interesting side b of the city
I did not expect any of this when I saw the photo and it is a very pleasant surprise xD
ReplyDeleteI was curious about those bottles. I guess it was really fun to drink in that things hahah.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw the picture I thougth you will tell us a story about babys or something about it, but it's a funny story, most of the time we forget we are creating memories.
ReplyDeleteThe first impression of the photo is very different to the reality, very good story, those are anecdotes that are not forgotten.
ReplyDeleteIt's very funny thinking of you drinking in that, hahaha. Without a question it's a very good story to share and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought that. But I think it's dangerous to contain alcohol... not to be confused jajaja
ReplyDeletehaha I've taken a big surprise, I thought it would be a story of a baby shower
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing story. I hope someday to visit Paris, it's one of my dreams.
