Try Portuguese first. When they say they do not understand, hessitate a bit, then wonder aloud if they speak any English. They will -- of course -- respond affirmatively.<br /><br />Then you can proceed in English without any of the attitude otherwise so prevalently given to sole-English-speakers.<br /><br />ENJOY! I'm jealous!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003236423048071844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-27066099219073421232009-12-13T06:51:07.705-04:002009-12-13T06:51:07.705-04:00NanU thanks for the tips - we spent 4 days before ...NanU thanks for the tips - we spent 4 days before Christmas on another trip - I was younger by at least 15 years - and was warm enough with layers. this is the only way I can dress, my subtripics wardrobe wont work any other way. I passed your suggestions for the light display to camillo he is the keeper of our things to see list....GingerVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501023251788210094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-54539195909558454442009-12-13T05:20:52.166-04:002009-12-13T05:20:52.166-04:00I hope you have a great trip.

Try layers, because indoors it can be quite toasty.<br />The Eiffel Tower has a light-show on the hour after dark, which is visible from all over town, but the best best place to see it is from right across the river on the heated terrace at the bar in the Trocadero museum complex. From the entrance, it doesn't look like the bar is open, but it is, just go right in.NanUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596765792663269178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-81661524809916955972009-12-13T04:36:37.217-04:002009-12-13T04:36:37.217-04:00Oh ...how romantic does Christmas in Paris sound?!...Oh ...how romantic does Christmas in Paris sound?!?! xxxSarah Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884012730205363096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-85749246510223879482009-12-12T16:35:41.378-04:002009-12-12T16:35:41.378-04:00Just gorgeous photos...reminds me of being in Vien...Just gorgeous photos...reminds me of being in Vienna.<br /><br />Anyway, in order to post larger photos you need to edit your blogger template, Heather has instructions here http://simplyjoyfulphotos.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-do-i-get-my-photos-so-large.html. I did not use her instructions because I hadn't seen her blog yet, I googled key words til I found directions I could understand. I am sure Heather would answer questions if you have any.Suburban Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135537886717771317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-73821675946950036522009-12-12T15:14:24.346-04:002009-12-12T15:14:24.346-04:00This time last year I was in Rome!
