Couscous
One
thing I realized I left out from yesterday's log was that on Wednesday, I
went to a Couscous restaurant. Couscous is considered an original French
food that's almost like rice and soup, but with a French twist. Not knowing
what that French twist really was, I decided to have dinner the only way
that I know that the French have dinner...with wine.
Those that know me well, know that I VERY rarely drink wine. Only on
special occasions. And I had already been in France for about 2 1/2 weeks,
and I had not ordered wine yet. This was going to be my first time.
Guess what. Apparently, I had walked into the ONLY restaurant in all
of France that doesn't server wine. Very confused, confounded and amazed,
I ordered a coke and enjoyed my couscous.
I finally did get my "wine fix" last night right before I went out "swing
dancing". That in itself isn't a great idea, because if you know anything
about partner dancing, you know that you want to be completely sober. Luckily,
I was able to pull off some moves at the "Slow Club" and not tick off any
of the French there.
Reality check: I went swing dancing in Paris! Whoo hoo!
Every now and then, I have to do reality checks with myself, because I
forget where I'm at and how awesome this really is. It's real easy to take
it for granted.
Adieu.
