Odysseus and the Trojan War

Essentially, the Greeks and Trojans had been fighting for 10 years. Odysseus had better things to do and devised a plan to win. He crafted a large wooden horse that all but one of the Greeks could fit inside of. The lone Greek rolled the massive horse in front of the Trojan's walls and said that it was a parting gift from the Greeks, who had fled the scene. The Trojans, wheeled the horse inside their gates, through a huge party, and passed out cold. Out come the Greeks and slay all the Trojan men and capture all the women and children. And its a win for the Greeks.

Can I just travel the whole globe? I'd start out in Paris. I want coffee and whatever French pastry a rude waiter suggests. I suppose the Louvre is a must see but honestly I'd be more interested in whats going on in the streets; living art. The experiences to be had. Memories to be made, coffee in hand. I'm not well educated in traveling the world, but I feel like I'd like Paris best around Sept/Oct so I wouldn't burn up. But before Paris I'd like to see Rome, possibly in June or July. I know it would be hot but the Romans were hot people so I think I could take it. Shorts, a thin t-shirt, possibly a tank top, and I'd be set. Actually, I want to retract my entire entry thus far and say that my dream journey would be living the plot of Midnight in Paris in every culturally significant city on the globe. Done.
