Not much happened this week, it was a usual go to school and pick up the kids I watch from school then go home later and do homework. But since I'm in Paris there is always something strange going on...
This is obviously a McDonalds add but whats funny is the whole idea of it is to eat like an American. The phrase on the bottom "même les americanis veulent le goûter" means if you eat this double shiny bacon burger you will be eating just like the Americans. McDonalds is not helping our reputation in foreign countries. Every French person I have meet asks me how often I eat at McDonalds. They are shocked when I tell them I don't eat there ever. Surprisingly I have spent more time in a McDonalds here than I have in the states. Not because I eat the food (which is still gross) but because they have free wifi.
On Saturday the 23rd, Cristina (a friend from the Sorbonne) and I went out to have a French day which consisted of us going to lunch and just wandering the city. This was the tea we ordered, very very good tea too.
And this was the sandwich I ordered. Which is the French version of a club sandwich. Everything was very good.
Then we went to another restaurant for dessert. The tart was like a thick raspberry cheesecake and of course I had a café. Both very delicious :)
On Sunday I went to the Champs Elysées to see the Christmas Markets before church. They line the street with white tents that sell everything from different foods, to hand made soaps from the southern part of France, to Russian Matryoska dolls hand made from St Petersburg (the ones that have five dolls in one and you open one to find the other). It was so busy! Everyone was there I felt like, like all of the Parisians and all the tourists.
As night descended, the lights came on and it was so pretty!
Then I walked over to Notre Dame for mass and I still find it so interesting that the Seine River floods over the steps and the sidewalk that is down there just under the water.
