One of the highlights

Probably the funniest thing I saw while in Paris happened during my stroll down the Champs Elysees toward the Arc de Triomphe. As Elizabeth and I were walking we noticed a huge crowd gathered ahead of us outside the Virgin Megastore. It was Christmas Eve so I thought that maybe someone famous was there and that was what the crowd was about...or maybe a big sale was going on. But NO. It was neither of those...unless you count video of Michael Jackson as someone famous being there. I'm not kidding. This CROWD was gathered in the cold rain on Christmas Eve watching a video of one of MJ's concerts. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. It reminded me of the time I waited outside a store in Rome because Madonna was supposedly inside. She wasn't. And neither was MJ.
