Shop till ya drop

Chris, Nicole and I went shopping for provisions. Before shopping, we stopped at McDonalds because C & N were starving. I had a Mac Royale, as mentioned in Pulp Fiction. It was freshly prepared, and it HAD REAL onions on it. Best Mac burger I've ever eaten. (For you non burger eating veg heads... get over it!) Shopping in France is such an experience. You'll recognize a lot of things in the store, but some things are a total ??? You have to bag your own groceries. If you do not have a bag, then you must purchase a bag or bring you own. None of this...Paper or Plastic? here. We spent 100 E and laid in enough for 3-4 days. Food is reasonably priced here... A 12 pack of Stella for 5.90 E, 5th of vodka for 8E... you know we try to purchase all of the major food groups in our family.

Marci to the rescue... she will send the train passes over with sister Caren next week.

The weather here is really different... there's a major shift going on, so it's sunny, in the low 80's, but the wind is blowing like a tropical storm... we're talking gusts that knock down trees. Lots of dust in the air, so contact wearers are suffering a bit.

Tomorrow we begin exploring... PC
