The walk is mostly directed towards his book "A Movable Feast," which is all about his life and early years in Paris. Needles to say, neither C or I have read this book (But we really want to... It's on the list now... Courtney's list at least.)
The walk was fun, but it was freezing. It was one of those Bone-chilling colds. The type that hurt when you stand still, or feel a slight breeze. It was literally ZERO degrees out. ZERO. That means that any temperature at all that isn't a negative, is warmer than we were.
We walked for 2 hours, and afterwards C and I ducked into an old fashioned Paris "Bar Cafe." They are really fun places to eat... Very authentic Paris.. Essentially a bar, with a few tables, and a small menu (2 items) C ordered "The Fish" and I got "The Sausage"... Then the lady who served be told me I "Obviously wasnt french" because I ordered a sausage, and still had some of my hot chocolate left?? I laughed at this, but it turns out that it was sort of scandalous, since about 5 minutes later I heard the two guys behind the bar say "blah blah Sausage blah blah Hot chocolate" and stare at me in unison. Wierd.
Later that night, we went over to our good friend Jennifer's house for some wine! She brought us out some delicious goat cheeses, and we sat and talked for HOURS!!!
Today, it was JUST as cold outside, and rainy, so we pretty much stayed in! Not the most adventurous way to spend our last saturday, but it felt good to just do nothing and rest up!! Tomorrow is going to be a big packing, clean up day, so at least we can attack it well rested!
We cannot believe that this trip is almost over.. 10 weeks!! We have learned so much about ourselves and the world.. about culture, art, and wine... There is no better education than traveling!
