Paris and the Dunhill

We just returned from Paris yesterday. It was a great time. We went early on Wednesday and saw the Champs-Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and Rue Cler. On Thursday, we went to Notre Dame, did some shopping, and took a dinner cruise down the Seine. The dinner cruise was definitely a high point--we got to see most of the sights at night while eating great food. On Friday, we went to the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, the Sacre Coeur, and we saw Moulin Rouge. We ate dinner at an outdoor cafe in Montmartre--definitely another high point. On Saturday, we got up early and returned to Scotland in time to listen to the Georgia game. Judging by how the game went, we probably should have stayed in Paris.

Our time in Paris was great. We ate plenty of good food (no fish and chips for a change!). We didn't spend any time in lines. We sat in lots of cafes and drank espresso. We had a good time with each other.

In addition to the UGA game, we wanted to come back from Paris to go to the Dunhill golf tournament which was taking place in St. Andrews. It's a fun pro-am tournament--there are plenty of famous people that play in it. This afternoon, I decided to go over late enough not to have to buy a ticket. It was a beautiful day for Scottish golf--50 degrees, windy, and a little bit of rain. I wasn't there long, but I did see Dennis Hopper and Samuel L. Jackson. Apparently, Samuel L. shot an eagle on #5. He was also wearing a pink sweater and pastel yellow pants in a way that only he could. He looked like a little girl going to church on Easter--but I'm sure that he would have taken a golf club to anyone who told him that.
