We take a video tour of castles in France, lions in San Francisco and the Catacombs of Paris. These videos provide a different way of looking at San Francisco, a collection of spectacular castles and a tour through a Paris sight that seems to leave everyone I know, in awe.

Videos today from great friends of mine. Karen Cummings sent me this wonderful 3D video of Paris. Google promises more to come and there will be more to come from Karen about this video during the week coming up. Jules Older just posted his not so ironic video on prohibition in Napa Valley. It’s an interesting look at a beautiful vacation destination in a different way.

EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, wears a scarf in Paris. It defies age and gender, hip and staid. In fact, I felt a little out of place without one. Luckily, there are plenty of stands where you can buy some very cheap, yet practical scarves so you can let your French flair fly.
