An American Grasshopper in Paris

One of the pre-MBA trips I took was to Paris with my family and I got to spend two pretty fun weeks there.

Rather than boring you guys with photos of myself and family near the big tourist sites (e.g. Versailles, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, etc.), I'll share with you a few random interesting things.

A cool highlight during the trip was when I started scoping out these Orangina Naturellement Pulpeuse ads and taking photos with all of the ones I saw!

Here's a doe (a deer, a female deer) with Grasshopper:


A tanned and muscle-y Grasshopper (hahahah!), holding a water bottle and baguettes, with a sexy dolphin:


That same sexy dolphin with me, a kinky panther, and a ravishing palm tree:


Me and a sultry giraffe:

Me with an athletic surfer jellyfish:

A hibiscus version of Marilyn Monroe with your's truly!


And a revealing zebra on top of me!


Another funny ad I saw was this one for a conference about talking to kids about puberty and sex:


While at Napoleon's Palace, I stood at attention next to the cannons:


But nearly got my head blown off by one!!


We took a day trip to Rouen to visit Joan of Arc's place of death. This is the spot where she was burned at the stake:


And Grasshopper paid his respect to the fallen, cross-dressing saint by lighting a candle in her helmet-shaped church:


In addition to posing in front of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine...


I tried climbing a portion of it!! (although my fear of heights seriously caused me to have some vertigo...)


Here is Grasshopper trying to imitate the Borghese Gladiator in the Louvre:


And here I am, with a look of "triomphe" on my face as I do my best arrogant American impression:
