how to view this blog?

This Blog is simply the online record of a voyage to France by 2 men: Shawn and Didier.

It is a re-cap and a photographic record of our adventures from Paris, to Nantes, to Rennes and beyond...

The best way to view this blog is in chronological order... to do that you can click on the "it starts..." link on the right hand side (under 'Blog Entries') Or you can simply click HERE and go post, by post. When you reach the bottom of an individual post you can click on the "Newer Post" link in the bottom left corner.

Aside from the main daily posts there will be special smaller posts on a few specific subject matters, that after reviewing the photos (we in fact took 6236 photos in total, most of those by Shawn - 5094) appeared to be rather constant subject matter, some intentional and some not. They are:

'du jour': A favourite photo of the day.

'leopard spotting': these are sightings of Leopard Print, be it clothing, furniture, in a painting or otherwise.

'knock-knock': Photos of some doorways that for whatever reason caught Shawn's attention.

'deux pour un': Mostly Duo self portraits, although also included are pictures of both of us together, taken by friends or family.

'l'amour est un oiseau rebelle': Birds. Birds. Birds.

'beauté est la bête': Gargoyles. (they are every where.)

'juste pour rire': Staged or otherwise amusing photographs.

'a la carte': What was on the menu when we dined out.

'sphinx-ters': Sphinxes. (Like Gargoyles, they are everywhere.)

'naughty bits': Call them kiki, or zizi (a la Française), they are even more prolific than gargoyles and sphinx!

'fess-tivale': Well you cant take a picture of a kiki and ignore the 'b-side'

'arcade of Joan': miscellaneous Jeanne d'Arc.

We hope you enjoy this blog as much as we enjoyed our time in France.
