Friday, May 8
It’s apparently a French holiday? Unless people are just getting a long holiday in honor of Bastille Day which I thought was the 4th for some reason (but what do I know?).
And I’m sick. I think it’s a sinus infection, very likely brought on Spring allergies (charming, I know). I’m not really sneezing a lot, but the sore throat is prominent and I’m Post Nasal Dripping (blech). Turns out that pseudoephedrine is worth about $.75/pill. And it turns out I’m totally willing to pay that. (see pics tomorrow… didn’t upload yet!)
I figured while I’m on the train of paying way too much for things I just really need. Now that the pen I brought is out of ink, I have no way to journal without at least a basic writing utensil. Voila my “bargain” 2 Euro ($3) Papermate pen. (pic)
Last night ended up being gorgeous weather. Dinner with Olivier (new friend from the hostel) and his friend Elaine, who is a native Seattle-an, but living and traveling in Europe. I don’t think she was a big fan of having me along – Olivier didn’t ask/tell her til we both showed up. My spidey-sense (female intuition) led me to realize that though he didn’t see it as a romantic op, she probably was. Not even in France can you escape catty women territorial crap. Blech.
Oh the feet, they hurt. I’m gonna need inserts or something for my sneakers. There’s not a lot to them and I’m doing way too much walking to just go with it. Hopefully in Rennes, there will be more sitting/studying…
Aiight, eating then going to try to make a Gospel concert at St Germaine de Pres!
