Just thinking......

I'm convinced that the French are just a little confused on the serving of an egg.  I have had egg on my salad, club sandwich, hamburger, and even on the pasta, but I have yet to find an egg for breakfast.  I would have thought that enough Americans come to France that they could put out a little effort and give us the option to have eggs for breakfast.  But Noooooo!  They have to save them to put in all the other dishes we don't really want them in.  Silly French chefs.  But in saying that, I really do like the eggs on my BLT! Yummy.

Observations:

• There are no screens on the windows in Europe. But you do have wooden shutters!
• I have not seen a SUV 
• French people have no problem with blatantly cutting in line.  They don't seem to see a problem with doing this.....hmmmmm.  Where's my gun?
• French women DO get fat. 
• There are a few things that sound the same no matter what language you speak: Humming, whistling,  blowing your nose, burping, sneezing and coughing.  
• Red wine is also served chilled.  
• Butter is not automatically provided with your bread.
• The French eat a lot of bread
• French people really like to eat.  I mean REALLY like to eat.  I have yet to see one eat less than a 3 course meal (in a sit down restaurant).  And the appetizer is usually as big as the entree!  
• You have to ask for your bill after a meal.  They won't bring it unless you ask and that has to be AFTER they have removed your plate.  Don't rush them!!  I got into trouble doing that as we were late for a train. I got that look that said "Stupid American" from the waiter.  :-)
• Even the French leave up Christmas lights after the holiday season.  It's not just the rednecks in Texas. I really need my gun!

People Watching today:

• A man and woman were strolling down the street handcuffed to each other.  Lost the key? Why should that stop them from getting out?
• A man (looked heterosexual and was with a woman) wearing a bright purple suede jacket with a matching purple scarf with polka dots. 
• A policeman in uniform getting around on roller blades.
• A woman with her entire head shaved except a chunk over each ear.  I couldn't get my camera out fast enough before she got away. 

I'm going to the salon to get my hair done tomorrow.  Since my French is bad and they don't speak English....When I tell them I would like a shampoo and style I could be saying I would like to look like the woman mentioned above.  Stay tuned!
