Saturday night I met friend Joelle Lafaurie for dinner. We went to the St. Andre des Arts area to a creperie called St. Germain. I had a leek and goat cheese crepe and a raspberry one for dessert. Good cider, too, from La Rance in Bretagne. See pic below. After dinner Joelle and I walked along the Seine for about an hour. We saw the Eiffel Tower doing its little "twinkle show". It sparkles in the evening on the hour for ten minutes. Kind of Christmasy and kind of Disneyesque. I think it is supposed to make people love the tower and Paris, but I love them both without the sparkles.
The weather is strangely cool; I'm wearing a scarf and sweater. In a couple of hours I take the TGV (high speed train) to Lyon to meet my colleagues and family. Exciting!
I love practicing my French. I've got a list of new words that I'll build throughout my stay. I want to be good!
