An experience is more real than a thing

Here we are three friends (plus one behind the camera) as we are about to go into a French restaurant (Chartiers, Paris). And it was a happy and memorable time. What did we learn - well, it is hard to say. I cannot be specific, but learning did take place. Was it worth while? - yes, we opened up to NEW experiences. The routine became a highly thought out process. We had to become/ we were AWARE of simply living. (Recall SOL and the three levels of awareness...) Because we had the CD of pictures, and there was this sense of having had a good time and wanting to share the images, I find I am learning how to post pictures to a blog -at the picture hosting site http://flickr.com. So that is some learning that has EMERGED from the experience. Immersive experiences are a powerful SPUR to learning.

Chartier is a popular restaurant unchanged from 1895. A living museum - a testimony to the "belle epoque" and "fin de siecle Paris". I am NOW trying to find out why, when you click on the image of the group users get a bigger picture but end up at www.flickr.com !!
