Can I get some frittes with that?
Micheal's adventures in Paris have been going well! Here's the low down:
1. Everyone smokes
2. Everyone drinks espresso
3. Micheal tried said espresso....I could have told him he wouldn't have liked it!! Even a pack of sugar and a chocolate stick couldn't help!
4. Most menus are only in French (he's not in a really touristy area) so the first time he tried to eat he ended up with duck pate - and was NOT a fan of the "grey mush." However, unlike in the states you can't send it back just because it's nasty!
5. He's seen the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame, strolled along the river Siene, put his bare feet in the fountains at the L'ouvre (I'm too lazy to go see if I spelled it right) and has received a gold wedding ring and a kiss on the cheek from a Paris vagrant. It's a funny story, ask him to tell you some time. :)
6. He's SUPER tired, he's walked about 12 miles a day just exploring the city, he says today he might rent a bike.
7. They don't make clothes in Paris that would fit me - so no cool Parisian dresses for Kari.
8. Extreme public displays of affection are the norm - it's kinda like soft core porn I guess. Yikes!
9. He's met some cool people in the political science field at the conference.
I think those are the highlights so far! He's doing well and is having a good time and already wants to plan a trip back so that he can show me the sights!!
