A Paris New Year's

  • Jan. 1st, 2007 at 8:49 AM

One would imagine my life is pretty exciting right now, but in fact, it is not. Obviously since I am sitting here writing on the computer during New Year's Eve. Truthfully, this holiday has never been a very important event for me. My plan is to write a bit, then around midnight take a bath with some champagne (it's not actually from champagne but it's French), and a candle. Seems like a good way to ring in the new year.

Miriam and Barry went out to dinner. I had a failed omelette (which = a scramble) and...some chocolate. There are some roasted potatoes as well but I am busy, the potatoes can wait. Earlier on this trip as I was attempting to read a label in French I mistook Pomme de terre to mean "fruit of the earth," it gave a guy a laugh I think. I don't think a potato would be insulted though, it's a much more poetic name than - potato - don't you think?

Miriam and I went to a Medieval museum with Miriam where we saw the big beautiful tapestries featuring the Maiden and the Unicorn. It was pretty cool. Today we went to the Rodin Museum and it was wonderful! We also went and walked near the Louvre and a neighborhood near our apartment. I got a crepe and we bought our fake champagne. It was a good day.




We've been eating an insane amount of bread, crepes, and nutella - it has been wonderful! Here are a few more pics since the parents left.






Happy New YEAR!!!!!
