EMEA Trip - Day 2 - Paris and Travel to Munich

After a solid nights sleep thinking their metro trains were a bit noisy, I learned that was actually very strong winds making the noise and keeping the airport closed. The group I was with last night had to take the train this morning because the flights were continually canceled and pushed.

A good day of meetings and chance to wonder a bit on the way to the train station to catch my flight. There were 2 things that caught my eye on the way to the Metro. The first was a a scooter with 2 wheels on the front.

Leave it to the French to get training wheels on backwards – evidently this helps on loose sand and dirt – when someone grabs the front breaks – it makes it less likely for the bike to slip and tip (not sure why they don’t just use the rear breaks – probably a law against it or something).

The second thing to catch my eye was an advertisement - I'm not sure what this is calling out, but as a pilot I will think about where I park my planes.

I do wonder what type of Pilot Jimmy is (was)?

I also did a self portrait with the Eiffel Tower to prove that I was there.

It was another cold wet day - looking forward to even colder weather in Germany.

I've updated the Paris Album with a few more photos.

Getting into Germany was no problem - I picked up my rental car - brand new VW with only 12km on it - I tried to take a short cut out of the garage.

JUST KIDDING - Another advertisement that really catches your attention.

I'm in for the night - here is the link for my Germany Photos - look for future updates.
