Things I Did:
- Plane landed at 10 am
- Reclaimed baggage and rented car
- Got lost for three hours trying to get to the hotel. It's supposedly a 40 minute drive. French freeways are confusing
- Ate lunch
- Checked into hotel
- Slept for 4 hours
- Woke up and ate dinner. I ordered veal liver to piss off my sister (she HATES veal). I had two escargots for the first time. It tastes like a meatier clam with a hint of Home Depot soil. YUM!
- About to pass out yet again...
Observations:
- Men wear a lot of gel in their hair. They shave the sides and let the middle part grow long. Then they slick it back with a lot of gel. Imagine Macklemore but with longer, straighter hair on top.
- I told our lunch waiter that his English is good. He responded with a wink and...I can't explain what he did with his mouth. It looked sorta like this. It also made a sound.
Not gonna lie, I freaked out for ten minutes. Too much. I just can't. It's the culture here. Everyone is extremely "kind". I understand how I was not special. It wasn't an 'advance' at all. That gesture was probably the same as if we said, "THANKS". But dude, still...I can't look at this GIF anymore because it's freaking me out. THAT FREAKED ME OUT!!
- Everyone here is stylish.
- Most people speak English.
- Strangers like making fun of my dad. I encourage it.
- The freeways here are awful. It's so hard to navigate around here.
- The French have mastered cream and bread. I'm still wondering how French women are normal-sized.
- So much food...stomach about to explode!!
