Sammi trap

19/6/2007 :: At Montmartre

Well... we took the metro to Blanche just next to the Moulin rouge and took a few photos

before heading UP THE HILL

to Montmartre.... Pretty cool place! :) We spent quite a bit of time and money there (got some good gifts).

When texting Nicky that it was a tourist traps she replied with "Are you sure it's not a 'Sammi trap' to which Guy replied - "yes it is"

The town square/ place is pretty cool with all the artists sitting/ standing there painting and sketching portraits, drawing people in to have their face captured on paper.... Sam had her portrait sketched in ochre.

And we also had our faces cut out as a silhouette! we did not ask them to do this and so we were able to keep them for much less than what they were trying to charge people!!

We especially liked the paintings of one man in particular and saw that he may have sold the best one to an American couple for 1500E (we think he did)

later that day/evening.....

We met Nat at her College (Institut Serviam) and went walking.... looking for a place to eat dinner etc.. we saw her school...Voila! not so pretty!!!




This one is for Dad!! :
