With the American Election still fresh in our hearts I remembered to post another experience in Paris...Ryan really wanted to see a temporary Ai Wei Wei exhibit near la Place de la Concorde. When we tried to get into the museum it was blocked off by police. This interruption to our tourist revelry was due to an impending Sarkozy rally. Our friends said it was intentional to hold this final rally of his campaign in Place de la Concorde because this is the place where historically a number of beheadings took place. Well we know now that his strategy failed, but it was culturally interesting to observe the attendees and record some of the goings-on with our digital recorder!
