Paris is definitely the leg of the trip that feel most out of place. I'm a total fish out of water. I didn't study much French history, let alone Parisian architecture, so I'm looking at beautiful buildings and have no clue what I'm looking at (note, most looking done from the back of a cab or a van).
Also - I think my Nordic tongue and German language studies make impossible for my mouth to even form the right words or sounds. I have no idea out to shape my mouth or to even make the sounds. I clearly didn't study any Romantic language.
However, in driving past the Louvre yesterday, I was more comfortable as Lionel Richie's Up All Night played on the radio. I guess some Americanisms you can't escape - even when you feel ilke a foriegner - it can still haunt you.
