Mercredi

To Betsy and Jessica: I'm glad that you were able to update the class schedule in php as I have no way to do that from here!

To everyone:

Well, this will be the second time that I have written this post today, the first having bombed out the computer. I have saved, checked this page, and everything seems to be working fine now.

I woke up this morning around 11:30 Paris (5:30 a.m. at home). I was up last night until around 2:00 a.m. After a wonderful dinner of baked chicken and baked beans at Julie and Rick's, I got a great video of Julie and Jaime standing in the snow on the balcony overlooking the Seine while singing some Rolling Stones song!

It snowed almost an inch last night, but it failed to stick. We joined Julie's friend Noel for lunch on Saint Louis for lunch at a Mexican restaurant called Tapas. We ate nachos, burritos, and drank wine, margaritas, and had shooters (compliments of Julie's friend, the restaurant manager)! After a long lunch (still snowing) it was time for some shopping.

Lots of great shopping on this island... but we need dinner. The original plan was for pork tenderloin, but we ended up with lasagna(ok, the spell checker on this blog is terrible).

After shopping, we needed to stop for a rest at La Chaumiei c'en L'Ile. This is a little wine bar and the home of the "fair priced scotch". In Paris, spirits are expensive. After sampling some vin rouge, we headed home with dinner.

After a short stop at Natalie's (the wine shop), for wine for the night, I have stumbled(it is icy and snowing) over to the Left bank to the Internet cafe where I am updating this blog. It is located about a block from Notre Dame. I'll walk back to Julie's apartment which is only about 5 minutes away.

I'll write again tomorrow.

Bonsoir,
Sam
