Radium in drinking water???

I've always wanted to go to the Madam Curie Museum. I was surprised at all the ways radium was put to use... no one new the dangers at the time. Who wouldn't want a youthful radiant glow!!!  

All of Paris is like a Museum!

Paris had so many museums we barely scratched the surface, Ken really wanted to go to this Maritime Museum mainly to see an under water deep sea diver prototype.

I this was used as a mast for a ship, it's carved out of solid wood!

Are friend Jim looking very small.

This is strait out of Jules Vern!

It probably sank on the first trial.

I liked this piece of graphic design - a perfect S curve!

Ah...Paris, the rain did not dampen our spirits!

While we were in Paris we went to many comic stores. I liked this robot design that was in one of the more mainstream comic stores, in Paris. I really liked all the french comics stores, they had such a wide range of diverse graphic novels, similar to the kind I would see at TCAF Toronto Comic Art Festival. Very unique styles that I could relate to...if only I could read them! I'm not sure if many graphic novels get translated for the market over here but I saw a lot of quite a few Canadian and American comics and graphic novels over there.  

We went to a technology museum, this is a computer - not so portable!

I love this 60s style of colour TV 

Magnificent men in their flying machines!

This is a Aurora Borealis machine...don't ask me how it works????

The larger than life KEN STEACY!

I know it’s been a heck of a long time since my last post and I hope I haven’t lost everyone - I can explain! In a nut shell… Ken and I went to Galgary Expo, in mid. April. The following week we went to Europe for three weeks, Paris was our first stop, then Brussels, Prague, Berlin and then - Toronto! I’ll be  in Ontario till mid July, visiting friends and family so I’ll be on the move once again, with limited access to internet at times. I’m not the best photographer but here are a few random snaps I took on our trip with my iPhone. Enjoy!!! More to come

I'M GOING TO BE AT THE CALGARY COMIC CON. THIS WEEKEND!!! I HOPE I MEET STAN LEE.
