France is spiffy. Look, I was there!:


(My friend Leland and I, after both visiting Egypt and hearing about how many obelisks were given to/stolen by other countries, decided that visiting all the obelisks around the world would make a fun travel itinerary. Though I'm not actually pursuing that itinerary, it does amuse me that since having that conversation I've run into three such obelisks -- two in Rome, one in Paris.)

More pictures and commentary will follow, when it is not 1 a.m.

I seem to recall you saying you've visited Istanbul in the past? If so, did you see the Theodosius Obelisk? It's the only obelisk, I've ever seen.

Yup, the Theodosius obelisk was the first obelisk I ever saw. :-) I love the hippodrome.
