Is it wrong to love Carrefour? I guess that best way to describe it would be to call it the Wal-Mart of France, but it is so much better than that. I went to the one nearest my house cet apres-midi. At first, I was very confused. I saw a sign for Carrefour, but all that was there was a grassy nole. This supershoppingcenter was sous terre. Crazy. I went in looking for a cd by either Renan Luce or Julien Dore. These are the two French artists that I'm really diggin' at the moment. I only came away with the Dore CD, but it is pretty cool. I recomend looking for the multiple YouTube clips of "Les Limites." I promise you'll learn some good dance moves from Julien and his friends. Another great song on the CD is Figures Imposees. I may or may not have been singing to these two songs since I opened the case. Have jewel cases always been so difficult to open or is it just me?
So the supermarche part of Carrefour is imense. Two isles devoted to yaourt. Two or three to cheese. A seafood section that smells so fresh. Boulangerie bien sur. More wine than the NH state liquor store. Okay, that one might be a stretch. I could wander around that place for ever. I ended up buying some shampooing, (kid you not, that's the word for shampoo in French) and a chocolate yogart drink for the walk home.
We set our clocks back this weekend here in France so it was 5:30 when I was walking home, but the sun was already setting; threw me for a loop. I'll have to get use to that. I'll also have to get use to homework and exams. I had my first exam on the IVeme Republique and the role it played in the construction of the Europe. No biggie.

Salut Pete. I just read all your posts on this blog and I loved every single one. Jen told me you have a blog so I had to read for myself what you've been up to. The fact that we haven't met makes it even more interesting I think. Maybe you'll find a way to come to Bonn next month after all. It would be nice to meet you. But even if you can't make it in November, maybe another time. Looking forward to reading more about your Paris adventures. Julia :)
