So Paris is the most spectacular city I have ever been to! There is so much history and culture. Additionally, Daphne and Stephanie are so much fun! They made this trip one of the best I have ever had the privilege to go on. Below are some pics from the trip that do not do Paris any justice, but hopefully you will see the beauty and elegance of the area nonetheless. The pics are from the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Moulin Rouge, and a few tours we went out. I would give a detailed account of what we did and place captions below the pics, but I am sure Cynthia will do that. Here pics are so much better than mine. However, I did get some decent pics from all angles of the Eiffel Tower (bottom, top, middle, off the edge). And Daphne and I saw Mos Def walking to the top of the Eiffel as we were walking down. Who can say that?! We were on the Eiffel with Mos Def! What!
Still, I must come with the funniness! As stated above, Stephanie and Daphne are really fun. They are also really funny! Daphne makes some statements that will have you cracking up laughing. Stephanie reminds me so much of my mother it is uncanny. I just laugh at some of the stuff she does. Taken together, below are some of the famous phrases from their time in Europe. Enjoy!
"This cake so good it make your tongue slap your brains out. That's how I feel."-Daphne
Daphne's comment after eating some dessert.
"The dog look better than him. The dog need to be walking him."-Daphne and Stephanie Comments after seeing a man walking a gorgeous white husky looking dog. Unfortunately, the owner did not live up to his dog...
"Hello, Mercie, Bitte Schun"-Stephanie
Stephanie's general convo when meeting someone. Hello (English); Mercie (Thank you in French); Bitte Schun (Your welcome in German)
"Well why he over there talking to himself then."-Cynthia
Cynthia's comment after asking me if something was wrong with one of our new Paris tour friends. Initially, I responded, "No, I think he is ok." After further inspection of him doing what Cynthia proposed above, I retracted my statement.
"I laughed at that last night in my sleep all night."-Daphne
Daphne's response after recalling something funny from the day before.
"I grew on Munchken and he grew on me... Munchken Dickerson."-Daphne
Daphne's epic story about her Grandmother's dog and how her and the dog grew into each other...
"The dreams caught up with me in my mind."-Daphne
I don't even know what made Daphne say that, but it was hilarious at the time... And still is... heehee
"This the closest I want to be to Jesus!"-Stephanie
Stephanie's comment on the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
"You got the menus of the FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. You know the ones that DELIVER. TAKE OUT"-Stephanie
Stephanie stressing her words to the hotel attendant who spoke English fine... Note she was asking for menus... We just walked into the hotel str8 out the cab... lol
"He look like a baby making machine"...5 minutes later... "He look like a baby making machine"-Daphne
Daphne's comment after seeing Mos Def and me saying that he supposedly has several children.
Below is a video from when we scared Daphne and Stephanie. They are already paranoid. We got them pretty good. If Stephanie was in front, I am sure she would have screamed. Daphne didn't know what to do. She was getting ready to dream about Munchkin in her mind at night.
Now, I proceed to two classic incidents that are sure to go down in RayHistory as two of the funniest things we have ever witnessed in life. First, we were on the subway returning to our hotel when we heard 50 Cent's music blasting from the subway platform. Then, we noticed that the music found it's way onto our train. As we gazed to the other side of our train, we saw this... Hilarious I know... Watch the man try to get away and almost fall. We don't even think that was his stop. He just wanted to get away from them. The French Nina Sky! Be on the look out for them. Remember you saw them first here on InternationalRays.
Second, we were on the train returning from Paris back to Mannheim when Cynthia looked over and said, "What does this man keep looking at?" I look over and this is what I saw... Hilarious! He is hands down the nosiest man in the world! Granted what are we called since we were laughing at his expense and video taping him but anyway don't dwell on that. Simply note that nothing was happening on the train. It was super quiet. He was just looking just to be looking. The Nosiest Man in the World! I really think he felt like the song, "I always feel like, somebody's watching me! I ain't got no privacy!"
