Trouble in the Paris Travel Blogosphere?
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 05.09.06 | 10:40 AM ET
It seems some aren’t too happy with Los Angeles Times travel writer Susan Spano’s ongoing blog from Paris. While I find Spano’s newspaper columns to be a cut above most material in newspaper travel sections—we link to them occasionally here—I’ve never found her blog to be terribly compelling. I don’t often read it. Kevin Roderick at LA Observed sums up the recent flap, which centers on a remark Spano made in her blog next to a photo of tents provided for the homeless along the Seine.

I skip the regular column on a regular basis. But haven’t checked out the blog, so can’t comment there. Wish I could get worked up about the caption, but didn’t find it outrage worthy. So I propose a worldhum caption contest for the Spano photo. I’ll start:
President Chirac sees to it that President Bush enjoys the finest of riverfront accommodations.
