Surprises.
First time in Paris, being a committed Democrat and having just read "Tale of Two Cities", I go in search of the Bastille, refusing to ask directions because, after all, how difficult might it be to find such a famous monument?
Tres difficile, as it turns out.
Not until a few hours of puzzled searching later do I discover that those fellow Democrats tore it down.
Not unlike back when I visited Barcelona, and Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and found no church there, just the facade!
There remain subtle reasons to travel, and some that just smack me alongside the head.
