Comments on: Don’t fear the reaper http://www.wideawakeinwonderland.com/2009/05/12/dont-fear-the-reaper/ A woman's relentless quest for meaning, humor and a paycheck as a writer Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:10:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: wideawakeinwonderland http://www.wideawakeinwonderland.com/2009/05/12/dont-fear-the-reaper/comment-page-1/#comment-2016 wideawakeinwonderland Thu, 21 May 2009 15:37:08 +0000 http://www.wideawakeinwonderland.com/?p=1920#comment-2016 I actually did try to get a subtle picture of the old guy in the thong, simply because you don't see that every day (at least I don't). Naked ladies I see every day (or I see one every day, anyway), but men in their 70s basted to a nice, rich brown? Not so much. The best part about Europe (or one of them, anyway) is the cheap 'sparkling wine' (it's only Champagne if it's made in the Champagne region of France. Even the clerk in the Paris grocery store felt the need to tell me that. In French, but I got the drift. Somehow). Whether cava, processo, or simply 'methode Champagne', I can't get enough! I am a champagne fiend. I actually did try to get a subtle picture of the old guy in the thong, simply because you don’t see that every day (at least I don’t).

I probably could have done even better...that was simply the 'buy in advance' rate on the Hilton.com site. I am grateful that all the European ladies are now shaving, as that helps me to stand out. If I'm meeting someone, I just let them know, "Look for the armpit hair and follow the smell of b.o." Actually, true confession time: I went through a hippie period where I let some things, um, go. The leg hair was pretty mild (and light colored), but there's no disguising an armpit that looks like Chewbaca. Ah, memories... Agreed (70 Euros) on both the unbelievable bargain and the root cause.

I've never heard of this.Oh thanks to the world economy tanking to bring us deeply cheap traveling discounts. As for the sight of nekkid beach worshipers; be glad modern day European women now shave their legs and pits has a routine ritual and not an afterthought. Well at least the majority of them and under the age of 50. 70 euros a night for a 5 star hotel is an incredible find.

Maybe a old dude chewing on a bracelet in a thong? Now that would be HOT!! Ya baby!! Your tag should be Spain, you can have it PEOPLE! Now you see why they came here on ships and tried to F@#k this place up too. At least I don't live in Haiti. So it's not rubbed in my face daily. Have fun in France. Enjoy gods wine my friend!
