PARIS

after sitting at CDG for a good ten hours yesterday, i have discovered two things: french airport coffee is decidedly 100 times better than a cup from the three or so popular coffee shops i visit regularly in NC.  & that, while mcdonalds menu looks a lot better (and is apparently the number one airport spot for all the beautiful people), the food is essentially some greater version of cardboard. but forget the aiport. i’m in paris. last night we placed our order at this pizza place where they give you a pink balloon & you wait at the canal (i call it “the” canal as i don’t remember the name, plus i’m pretty sure it’s the only canal in paris), and they deliver it to you there, where you picnic w/ wine and the like. pizzas we ate included grilled eggplant + hummus, pork + fried plantains, basil + tomato, & some kinda arugula something. i passed out around 2am bc i’m sorry but people need sleep in non-upright positions at SOME POINT. today i woke up at noon to kids screaming and laughing their little asses off during their friday recess.  it is raining now, which just seems so… paris. am i right?  we’ve decided to see the sites, but mostly i plan to eat & drink it all.  i was going to add some pix to this entry, but i can’t figure out how to do anything.  sadie would like for me to say that she looks “so beautiful in the parisian sun”. which has momentarily come out, so i’m off. this will probably be only one of like two travel entries because tomorrow we’re headed to croatia for several days and then spain (!!).

catch yall back in the states ( :| ) 

mad men just keeps getting nuttier & nuttier
