After this walking, I'm a bit parched. So instead of heading to my room and having a Carlsberg 25 cl beer (8.45 oz) at the tune of 3.30 Euro, i find a Minute Mart and purchase my own beer. I get three Cristal Pilsner beers - 33 cl, which is 11.2 oz. A bag of peanuts and a bag of cashews (125g each - 4 oz). Note the enclosed receipt. Line 1 shows "amendoins com mel", which are basically beer nuts. If you translate that, it's "peanut butter and jelly"... I told you this was a difficult language! Next is "Caju", which is cashews. Then the piece d'resistance... the beer is .37 each - including VAT of 23%. Plus .07 for the bottle deposit. The whole bill is 4 euro. Now, why don't they have THAT in amerika? The sun is out... clothes are dry... time to get back to town. I just enjoy wandering...
