Day 20: Un répas parfait! / A perfect meal!

Got up this morning for my one class that I have on Fridays. Got to the Institute a little early and it was nice and quiet. I drank some tea, read a french newspaper. The newspaper mentioned a little article about the workshop and performance that are going on tomorrow. Claudie and Michel invited me to the performance.

After class, ate lunch and left to go shopping. I got some cute shoes from "Déli's Shoes" - black flat "ankle" boots with little silver button type things on the top/side for only 10 Euros. Then we kept wandering around shopping, etc. Went to Carrefour to get food for dinner tonight. Claudie and Michel had a "réunion" for his organization and told me I could have friends over to make/eat dinner. We came back from grocery shopping, dropped the stuff off at the house, then walked to Mirel's house, then to Delee's house, then back to the city to do a little more shopping! I bought a cute navy blue dress for 15 Euros. The only thing that I need to buy is a suitcase since one of the wheels on mine broke on the way over here so it's crazy dysfunctional as a suitcase carying 50 lbs worth of stuff. I am going back out shopping with some of the girls tomorrow for a suitcase.

We returned to my house at a little after 7 - Claudie and Michel were just leaving for the gathering. For dinner we made chicken, pasta (bowtie with tomato sauce), a veggie "mélange" (combo) with tomatoes, broccoli and some herbs, and a salad (lettuce, tomato, broccoli, and grated cheese). All around it was a fabulous meal - quite delicious indeed. I can't take most of the credit - the three other girls (Alaska, Delee, and Mirel) did most of the cooking and I washed the dishes after.

We watched MTV while we were eating. Michel always tells me (when I'm watching tv and he's in the other room) that I can change the channel to MTV. So we decided to watch. It was silly! After dinner was over, a couple other joined us to hang out for the evening.

Overall today was a great day and a great start to the weekend!
