More knives


I've made a few additions to my knife collection, so I took a new group shot.

Le SWAT


On August 24, 2010 My fiance and I took a trip to Paris France. It was a life changing experience. Paris is a magical place of beauty and culture. We stayed at Hotel Aiglon in Mont Parnasse. If you were wondering, no the parisian weren't rude, they were kind and helpful, and most everyone that works in the hospitality industry spoke english. I visited a bunch of museums, went to a knife shop, ate croissants, walked the streets and drank espresso.

I visited Le Centre Pompidou, the modern art museum, which was absolutely mind blowing. A visit to Le Louvre is mandatory while in Paris. While there everything I learned in art history 101 at AIB was brought to life and punctuated. The Mona Lisa is all hype and the french sculptures where defiantly my favorite. I also went to the Musee D'orsay where I saw Van Goghs and Gaugains and tons of beautiful sculptures. Unfortunately I could film it there, because in that museum I saw the most awesome little sculpture of a woman with a marble body, ivory arms and face and a bronze hat, it was over the top gorgeous.

We took an awesome boat ride up the Seine river and kissed under the Eiffel tower.
