I'm SORRY!!!

 

I have no idea how the heck to get photos on this thing...not in English NOR in French. So get your baguette out of my face Frere Jacques!!

 

You'll just have to wait until I get home. Besides, I mostly only have scenery shots. It takes me a little courage to ask random Frenchers if they'll take my photo. But I do have a photo session with me and moi-meme on occasion. So you can see how my hair grows....raw, baby, raw!!

 

I'm so bored...did I mention I'm in the Banff of France and there's one main street to walk up and down while you're not on the mountain???

 

So now for something completely different...prepare yourself for randomness, folks.

 

A lesson in French:

 

- A word to the wise...here in France, tampons are rubber stamps.

- People actually DO walk around with baguettes.

- This is the land of romance and affection. True story: middle aged couple acting like newlyweds on the bus, practically on my lap. AwKwArD!

- I'm hot (as in temperature) = j'ai chaud (I have hot)...je suis chaud = I'm hot as in horny.

- There's more talking on radio stations than music. But when there is music...it's often American.

- July 21st...every single town/city/village in France has live music all over the streets. True story: a high school band doing a cover of Roxeanne...and murdering it.

- There's an Irish Pub in every French city, I promise you.

- Dancing or jumping up and down topless on the beach is considered UnNoRmAl.

- Plastic bags for picking up dog poo...they don't exist. Watch your step.

- In some hotels and homes, you'll find next to the sink the bathroom a Bidée...be aware, it's not a toilet and it's not for washing your hair...it's for washing your bum. That's right...

- Driving like a maniac and parking on the curb...yeah, that's fine, go right ahead, really!

- Dogs go everywhere with their owners. True story: dog in a bar...the bartender put beer in his dish and someone tripped over him while he was passed out.

- There's a hair salon for every 5 people here.

- Petit Dejeuner is really petit...you'll find no sausages, pancakes, hashbrowns, or 3 egg omelettes here for breaky.

- Little stores called Tabacs are the only place you can by cigarettes

- Everyone here places SudoKu...including me now =D

- You can buy bottles of wine in grocery stores for as little as 1 Euro. Sweet.
