Built in 1831 the Mon-Repos Palace is located atop a hill within a 250 acre park in the middle of Corfu's archeological centre. It was built by Commissioner Adams for his wife, although she soon vacated the palace when her husband was sent to serve in India and it became a rarely used summer house for all the governors. During the British occupation a school for clergymen was located there. After the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece, King Georgios I took pocession of the area and named it Mon-Repos. During the Italian occupation it was residence for the Italian politician Parini who governed the Ionian Islands. It was virtually abandoned when the Greek monarchy was overthrown. It soon became derelict, but was recently magnificently restored and is now a fabulous museum housing many of the Islands treasures.

This is an alley behind a Monoprix in the Marais, in Paris, where it's ridiculous to own a car, because:
-every year there are reductions in the number of parking spaces
-there are few garages and the ones that exist are atrociously expensive, even by Paris standards
-the large French newspaper Liberation installed itself in the only large parking garage in the area (perhaps the largest there was in Paris)
-Delanoe, the (enlightened yet autocratic) French mayor wants to reduce traffic in Paris, as they have in London
I gave up on a car years ago. Looks like many others have as well.
Taken with a Nokia 6680 cameraphone on the low setting, because I'm still looking for a larger memorycard, still unavailable in Paris.
Shouldn't have posted to deleteme! but I'm a sucker for abuse ... bring it on!
I was riding on a concrete slab,
Down a river of useless flab
It was such a beautiful day
I heard a witchdoctor say,
Ill turn you into a toadstool
Im looking for the joke with a microscope
My muscles twitching on your words
If youre on the streets you lose your nerves
Divinity throws you a curve
Sticks you and then you go beserk
Abhoaring no inspiration.
Im looking for the joke with a microscope
Page out of a comic book
A chicken hanging on a hook
A river and a babbling brook
A sermon and a teenage hook
Shaking my hand at your fake face
A suicide a certain look
A microphone a loose guitar
People feeling near and far
Stupidity a mental scar
Put cruel into cruelty
As life goes by you in a blurr
An achoholic has gone far
Everything just goes to far
I was pissing on the desert sands,
When the desert whispered to me,
Damn! isnt this a shame?
Things will never be the same...
I run this gas and oasis
Now Im looking for the joke with a microscope
I was a teenage dinosaur, stoned and obsolete
I didnt get fucked and I didnt get kissed
I got so fucking dense
Using my head for an ashtray
Now Ill tell you who I am
Im the repo-man
And Im looking for the joke
Looking for the joke
Im looking for the joke with a microscope
Le Cimetière Marin de Saint-Paul fascine ses visiteurs.
Avec ses allées bordées de cocotiers et ses frangipaniers fleuris, ce cimetière pittoresque entretient la mémoire des "z’endormis."
Surplombant une plage de sable noir, il serait la dernière demeure de nombreux pirates. Parmi eux, le célèbre Olivier Levasseur dit « La Buse »,qui écuma l'océan Indien au XVIIIe siècle.
Son trésor, jamais retrouvé, serait caché dans une ou plusieurs îles du sud-ouest de l'océan Indien. La légende raconte que lorsqu'il était sur l'échafaud la corde au cou, il aurait jeté un cryptogramme dans la foule en s'écriant : « Mon trésor à qui saura le prendre! ».
Conformément à un souhait exprimé dans ses poèmes Le Manchy et Si l'Aurore, le poète parnassien Leconte De Lisle y est également enterré depuis 1977 et le transfert de sa dépouille depuis le cimetière du Montparnasse, à Paris.
On y trouve également la tombe du poète Eugène Dayot et du peintre Arthur Grimaud.
« Maintenant, dans le sable aride de nos grèves,
Sous les chiendents, au bruit des mers,
Tu reposes parmi les morts qui me sont chers,
O charme de mes premiers rêves ! »
Charles-Marie LECONTE DE LISLE (1818-1894)""
