apologies for the crappy narration skills:

So this past weekend I was in a "small" castle in Lyon with a french family and it was pretty sweet...

but damn, there was this one room on the 5th floor that scared the living crap out of me.

It was really cold in the manor, which was built in the 14th century out of stone:

I had finished lunch and decided to look around the house (castle, really) and I followed the long stone stairway up the second tower entrance.
At the top of the tower there was a huge oak door with iron bands on it and a big key hole.

I opened the door and the air smelled old and musty. I couldn't see anything and fumbled around for a light switch, instead I caught some cobwebs and something really cold and smooth - this kinda freaked me out so I went back out into the hall. I returned to my room:

and got my keychain flashlight, then went back.

and then i saw this:

ok, so it doesn't seem so freaky with the lights on and with the flash of my camera but... it was still pretty sweet.
 
I want your job.

Have a good time, and be prepared to pay through the wazoo for eating out.
 
so far, i've gotten four phone numbers - 1 Parisian, 1 Lebanese, 1 Russian and 1 Turkish :D

and I've eaten more cheese, bread and kebabs in three days than in my entire life.
 
You're evidently well-travelled, but at the risk of being redundant: don't do, say, or wear anything that will out you as an American.
 
Bring me back some french wine.

Buy a canadian flag. They're accepted everywhere. I remember watching yasser arafat's funeral and there was a large canadian flag going through the palestinian crowd, which pretty much reinforced the idea that you should be canadian on vacation.

You're thinking of Greece :lol:

After a month in Grenoble - I think i'm heading to Turkey - my god those women are hot.

And as for being American - they don't really care, as long as you're not a complete dick (which for many americans in europe is a challenge) and smile a lot, everybody loves a foreigner with money.
