An American Hooligan in Paris (me)

7-7-11 (Paris, France)

Last night was Vetter's last night in France so me, Ben, and Vetter went out for a few drinks near the Moulin Rouge. When we got to the bar I was pleasantly surprised that beers weer only 2 euro so we all decided to buy a round. Three beers in and I knew this was going to be a fun night. After the rounds we decided to grab a bite to eat at a nearby sushi place. More beer was had. After dinner we agreed that we should walk from the Moulin Rouge to the Eiffel Tower and drink under it. Walking ensued. Unfortunately our journey was interrupted when we stumbled upon a local carnival. Ben and Vetter decided to blow their money playing rigged carnie games, but at least Ben won a giant stuffed Rasta-man. Awesome. We had to jet when the carnival started to close down. Here is a picture of Ben celebrating his victory with some butt sex of Rasta-man.



After the carnival we came upon the bridge where Princess Diana tragically had her accident. Ben and Vetter wanted to run through it and take some pictures. I eventually ran through it as well later on in the evening. Here are some pictures:






 

We finally got the the Eiffel Tower and bought more beers and a cheap bottle of champagne. All was thoroughly enjoyed. Hooliganism happened. To what extent, you'll never know unless you were there!
