Just short note today. The space bar on my laptop went south last Saturday and naturally the Dell service center here in Paris wasn't open but I did place a call to their international service number and got someone from probably India named "Jeff" who took a work order for me and sent it along. "Claude" showed up today and switched my entire keypad out for no charge (I have a 3 year international service contract with Dell) and I'm back!
Sunday Cassie and I went shopping at a "covered" open air market near Passy (about a 10 minute walk from here) and it was REALLY GREAT! We took pictures which I'll endeavor to attach after I finish writing this. They had just about everything in there and we got some amazing produce and bread. Then went across the street and found a grocery store that was open on Sunday too and we're able to stock up on what we needed for the rest of the weekend.
While out this last weekend we saw a Maserati parked right in front of our aparment building and when going across the street from the covered outdoor market Sunday there was a Rolls Royce parked in front of the grocery store we went to. Add those to the Lamborghini Cassie saw on the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago and the partially cracked up Aston Martin I see regularly down the street I really do have a sense of living in a bourgeoisie neighborhood.
Our personal shipment arrived yesterday and that'll be the gist of my or Cassie's next blog entry.
Will leave you with pictures of the shopping expedition last Sunday that lastly included a mime in the street.
Love to all!
