Tuesday night i had dinner and a couple beers with SF pal and fellow traveler Allison and Paris-dwelling friend Shadok. i've known Shadok for like 7 or 8 years online, but i've never actually hung out with him before. super cool guy. thanks for dinner buddy!
on Wednesday Allison and i visited the Musée D'Orsay. i was pleased to find some of Toulouse-Lautrec's smut on display, including my new favorite, Alone. where can i get a print?!
after getting our culture on we walked along the Seine a ways. about halfway to the Eiffel Tower it started to rain, so we decided to leave that for an evening next week and walked back up to the Arc de Triomphe. we looked around for food, but apparently Parisian restaurants take a break between lunch and dinner, so it was back to Dennis and Aimee's for ham and cheese sandwiches. by the way, if you don't know this already, European mayonnaise is the best tasting food in the universe.
tthat night Aimee made tasty sausages and cabbage for dinner, and we sat around drinking wine, watching soccer, and laughing liberally. a perfect evening!
i'm happy to report that i've gotten the hang of the Metro very quickly and that my fabled direction sense has kicked in and made me the master of wandering the streets of Paris. i'm still sort of intimidated by the French attitude though. it's like i told Dennis: whenever i encounter a French person, i automatically feel like a douchebag and that i need to prove myself not. maybe i have a complex.
