I wanted to share what a wonderfully European day I have just had. I was saved from the drugery of doing laundry in an all French laundromat by a call from a friend for a last minute lunch. Because I was finally not hanging out with kids all day, I was able to wear my new (and very clean winter white) sweater, so I finally felt like a real woman, dressed up with a nice place to go. I took the tram up to meet her and we had a lovely lunch of caesar salad and a glass of white wine at a little French cafe. From there we did a little shopping and then parted ways. She shares my obsession with American gossip magazines and so before we said goodbye we traded the few magazines had brought back from our trip to the States. I felt as if the magazines were items we had picked up off the black market or something!
Afterwards I walked around the neighborhood market that is held on Wednesdays just down the street from our apartment. There I bought fresh vegetables, some chicken, and a homemade cake with homemade jelly preserves. I went home and made dinner with all of my fresh goodies and felt like a true European!
