Le 79ieme Jour: J'attendais pour la pluie d'arreter. / I was waiting for the rain to stop.

1. Woke up to pouring rain. By the p.m. it was bright and the sun was shining.
2. Only had one class, but a lot of work none the less.
3. Wore flip-flops for the first time in public in France. I don't plan on doing it again. I felt like a tourist. No respectable European wears flip-flops.
4. Had artichokes for dinner. Learned how to "correctly" eat them.
5. Ate a mango (un mangue) for breakfast. Michel explained to me how to cut it and eat it last night, but it was still difficult to eat/figure out.
6. I decided that besides my host family, the next thing about France that I am going to miss the most is the food. The freshness, the availability, the inexpensiveness of eating healthy, and the numerous bakeries on every corner (like the number of Dunkin Donuts that surround my house, except even more so!).
