Great Day, But Very Tired

Two things, one of which I will fully explain, the other will have to wait because I am very tired and need to get up early tomorrow. The other day I was walking to the Pantheon from the Luxemburg Gardens, and a very old French lady stopped me and started to address me in French. I told her in my very best French, I do not speak French. She looked up at me and said "you are not french?" I told her that I was not French, and that indeed I am American. It was at this moment that her face turned from a pleasant smile to a most horrid frown and she opened her mouth to growl "I HATE BUSH!" in a very thick accent. After assuring her I did not vote for him she told me "Good", I was affriad she was going to hit me. "I think you should sleep with his woman" were her final parting words.

That's my story of the french woman on the way to the Pantheon. My other story, has to do with tonight. I met a few people at the Shakespeare & Co. bookstore (should you ever be in Paris and not know where to go and be eager to meet someone to socialize with, this is the place to be) and let me just say that I have made some new friends and I hope to travel with them in the coming weeks. But more on the later as I am about to pass out.
