Tidbits

Today, as a group, we toured the Ste. Chappelle chapel and the Notre Dame cathedral. There were about a million people and the temperature was a million degrees. Afterwards, we went to Ile St. Louis for Berthillon ice-cream, but not from the original store, because they are closed all of July. An ice-cream shop closed during the hotest month in the summer? Only Berthillon!

I saw this at a little shop on the Ile St. Louis - le peloton du Tour de France!


The sisters decorated for our 4th of July dinner. Like the top I picked out for the occasion?? Expect it again on la fete nationale or le 14 juillet! I made the mistake of calling it Bastille Day when talking to my teacher and got chewed out. "Bastille Day, euh, c'est Americain, euh. On ne dit pas Bastille Day en France, euh, on dit la fete nationale ou le 14 juillet, euh." OK! Got it.
