i am so happy. and so tired. and so happy.
i only have a few things to say:
snails? delicious.
duck? delicious.
kili and i had some loooooooong travels, but once we got here, were settled and had some food in us, we both became the happiest little travelers to ever walk these streets. we had dinner at this little quaint french restaurant near our hostel. we had the most amazing meal, we kept exclaiming that it was the best meal we had EVER had. i think this is only a slight exaggeration.... if one at all. we met the most amazing people at the restaurant who helped us initially with our escargot, and became dear friends of ours by the end of the meal. it was two older french men who wanted to tell us different places to go and things we need to see. whoever says french people are rude have not met the right people. they are wonderful.
already i feel slightly better about my french. i am trying and getting good responses. whenever i fail, they jump in with english and seem to think my attempts are endearing. :)
now we are going to settle in for bed and sleep, its going to be glorious.
i miss people already. but i am so happy to be here :).
snails that are undercooked can harbor a parasitic roundworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) that may cause a rare kind of meningitis and lead to permanent brain damage or death.
ReplyDeleteI personally think they're most delicious when served in a garlic butter sauce.
you are the best.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think when I first met you... I could barely get you to try different foods with any kind of texture
ReplyDeleteI love you, you are the bestes
Ashley!! Sounds so fun! If you can, take a picture of yourself at the Place Mongue Metro, with the splashy fountain, you look fabulous there! I see you in my mind walking down Rue Mouffant, enjoy, relax, and breathe it all in! love ya.
