Sandy and I went to see a 1 man show titled "How To Become Parisian in 1 Hour" a few weeks ago. It was hilarious. The man is French, lived in America for many years in the restaurant industry, and returned to Paris to start his 1 man show. It poked fun and Americans and French mostly. I highly recommend it!
The only souvenir I got while we were in Geneva were the socks above. They are comfy and go well with my toe shoes. I made several attempts at taking pics, but they all turned out blurry. I think the sheer awesomeness of them prevented the camera from properly focusing.
We had something rather amazing happen a few weeks ago. I've mentioned how Parisian people keep to themselves and they don't tend to make friends with others. Well, there was the lady that lives in our building that introduced herself to us in the lobby of our building after we'd been here about a month. A few weeks ago, she knocked on our door during dinner and said that she was going to the open market the next day and wanted to know if Sandy wanted to go to get some inside tips. Of course she would! So she went and learned a lot of great stuff. That night, she made us this for dinner. It was awesome!
This weekend, someone on our street decided it was finally time to get rid of their Christmas tree. Typically, the end of May is the limit.
A few weeks ago at dinner, my 7 year old randomly says, "Dad, can you make a drink out of meat?" I love that kid so much...
Just behind us a few blocks is the open market I talked about earlier. It is on Thursday and Saturday. They setup poles for the different booths on Wednesday and take them down later on Saturday. Nick got to use his scooter and Morgan got to use her Heelies through there the other day.
Here is a night time view down the middle of that setup.
There is a big rollerblading community in Paris. They go on tours through the streets on Friday evenings, and also do it occassionally on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Yesterday, they came down our street. Best guess is that there were about 2000 people, complete with police escort.
This is what the kids look like when you take random pics of them on the Metro.
Love these!! All of it is so fun....though too bad you are "stuck in Paris!"
