Shut-ins

For the past few days, we have been essentially shut ins!

When we got back from Rome, we both had developed colds.. C worse than I was...

So we spent a few days resting, recuperating, I did a load of laundry that ruined some of Courts clothes (I hate french Laundromats... How come the same machine that leaves you soaking wet clothes one day, leaves you fire hot uber-toased clothes the next?), and watching DVDs..  We found an english video store about 15 minutes away, so I joined..

Sunday I went to the Musee Armee..  It's an awesome museum, but I got there at 4 and it closed at 5:15..  I plan to go back for 3 or 4 hours one day..  I hit armor, and a bit of WW2, then I had to leave...  

Then Monday, C was feeling a bit better, so we went and got sandwiches and sat in Luxembourg gardens and had lunch. After that, I went and sat in the train station and bought out tickets to England... We are going to try and hit a soccer game while there..  Before that, we are contemplating a trip to Switzerland..

Last night we went to a greek place for dinner.. It was listed in one of the Paris guides that Courtney has.. It was a fun, loud place, where the waiters argued loudly amongst themselves all night.. when we asked if there was an English menu, he just took our menu, pointed to everything, and yelled out what it was, in English. Nice. Embarrassed and deaf is a great way to start a meal!

Today we tried to go to the Delecriox (sp?) museum.. It's only a block from the apartment, and I have no idea how we have never gone before...

.. and we still havent gone.. Closed until Nov 26th.

SO, instead I told Court I wanted to take her to this American bookstore I found nearby - Last night, while searching for a chinese place in the rain, I found this bookstore, and it turns out David Sederis is speaking there Nov 6th...  

After the bookstore, we found this pizzaria, and we decided to stop in.. It was so nice and cozy. totally packed.. C got Pizza, I got Lasagne, and it was the BEST lasagne I have ever had!

That's about it. The last few days havent been very exciting, but they have been restful!

The rest of this week is on fire... Tentatively, we are going to some professional tennis matches tomorrow, then Eurodisney Thursday, and MAYBE Switzerland on Friday or Saturday!
