Thursday October 2nd 2008

Our sleeping situation isn't looking too good for the next three months; we have three compact self-inflating mattresses and one pull-out futon. Last night Sheen and Brandice slept on the futon and Ryan and I champed the floor... We all woke up with sore backs but it didn't matter because we woke up to a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately it was raining, so we threw on our rain jackets, grabbed our umbrellas and left our home in search of the nearest supermarket. We put our trust in Google maps that we accessed from a street wifi and found out that we were 4.4 kms away from the nearest Champion, the local "safeway/sobeys". The 4.4kms wasn't a huge deal considering the Paris metro system kicks serious ass, the only problem was getting onto the trams during rush hour. When we got back Brandice and Ryan went to get some things that we forgot from the supermarket, only then did we find out that there is a Champion 2 or 3 blocks from us... damn Google maps.



Supper was amazing, I bought red peppers, green peppers, orange peppers, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, chicken and some amazing sweet and sour sauce. Brandice bought some mushrooms and beansprouts, Sheen bought some rice and we made an amazing stir fry accompanied by a beautiful loaf of unsliced, freshly baked bread and a decent white wine. We were full





That was basically all of our day... we did sleep in until late and we spent many hours getting all the groceries to stock our apartment. Tomorrow we will definitely have the best breakfast we've had in 3 weeks.

bonsoir
