so now have had coffee in 5 cafes in different parts of paris;
but eating is another matter.... i was going to order ergots.. and luckily floy was with me and realised they were snails........ they eat a lot of that sort of stuff here
i wanted to buy pate but noone spoke english. i picked up something which said pate de foie:::: or something like that ; turned to the guy next to me and i asked is it chicken; he loOked at me I said pig, he still looking now more strangely I then do cluck cluck and flap my arms now hes really wondering and he says quarck quarck, i say chicken, he repeats quark quark bring it home make a sandwich::: floe comes i ask her; she is lauging away and says its duck. Somehow it just didnt strike me. Any way had diarreoha the next day so am sticking to cheese tomatoes and things i can see not transalate.
`
been many places.notredam wHere there was a service going on; all very serious; deep organs And choir in white; eiffel tower, latin quarter; pantheon, the botanical gardens; montmarte; Pigalle, saw the moulin rouge from otside. entry with dinner is 180 euros, catch me spending so much to see girls lifting their legs high up ...... area around montmarte is lovely, cobbled narrow streets; many cafes and outdoor stalls selling touristy stuff; like gateway .......
loads of tourists everywhere...... mainly americans... in the bus they dont stop chattering away all the time..... often complaining about prices
paris is actually lovely, there are so many historical monuments which are solid and gigantic that you pass on any buss ride. At most of these monuments there will be guys with guitar and amp playing music, the people are very openly qffectionate often hugging and kissing. There are lots of girls and guys dressed in long skirts, scarves on their head asking if you speak english ; older zomen sitting at the entrance of churches asking for money. Floy says they are rumanians ;
as i look at the blog and how its expanding amazing that so much has happened........every day passes and frankly hardly anything remains..... oslo and fiords could have been a year ago, ten years ago.and so i will wonder if i was there or not. Its already happening in Paris.. have been here twice in the past, and wonder did i come here when i was here before?
am enjoying being at floys and listening to the tons of cds she has, shes a musician and sort of chilled jazz type with vocals:::::: in french so its music im hearing for the first time;........
