Today's ventures into Paris

Fact: The French do not sweat. (Unfortunately, I did not inherit this magical power). Today was about 75 degrees and there is no AC. Everytime I walked into a store, I started sweating, yet all the Frenchies around me looked fine AND were wearing sweaters and jackets. Same thing on the metro...I found it to be scorching hot, even only wearing a tanktop, and everyone else had jackets on and didn't seem the least bit uncomfortable. agh!

Anyway, today, I went into Paris to get everything I needed for the rest of my trip.
Got a cell phone, all of my train tickets, etc etc.

But this one isn't:
One thing to know about the French: they love their grass. So much so, that they don't allow you to walk on it. Seriously, don't even try, the cops WILL get you!

That's all for tonight folks!
