It was to my liking. I could really<br \/>\nget into this egg mayonnaise thing. They put horse raddish or something<br \/>\nin the mayo and serve it with sliced hard boiled eggs. It&#8217;s really damn<br \/>\ngood.<\/p>\n<p>Today was sort of a strange day. I walked and walked. I walked all the<br \/>\nway to the arc de triomphe, then down rue hausmann all the way home near<br \/>\nplace de republique. I got a little lost around rue sebastapol so had to<br \/>\ntake the metro home. It feels really good knowing if I get lost and<br \/>\ntired, just hop on the metro. It was just strange because I feel so<br \/>\nalone in such a huge city full of people. I don&#8217;t mind the solitude,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s just so much easier in the country where it feels natural.<\/p>\n<p>It is so hot today, it&#8217;s ridiculous. My room is an oven. I feel very<br \/>\nanti social today but I have no choice but to leave my door open. I am<br \/>\non the top floor and all my neighbors are americans, maybe a little<br \/>\nconversation would do me good. I was so tired and hungry by dinner time<br \/>\nthat I had trouble getting up the energy and nerve to go into a cafe and<br \/>\norder something by myself on a friday night. Do you know what that feels<br \/>\nlike? It feels dumb. It&#8217;s mostly shyness I think. I&#8217;m ok most of the<br \/>\ntime but when I&#8217;m tired and dehlirious with hunger, the idea of an<br \/>\nawkward exchange sounds so terrible. It never is awkward. It&#8217;s always<br \/>\nfine. I can communicate just fine. I understand most of what is spoken<br \/>\nto me. All I really have to do is say bonjour, merci, au revoir. That,<br \/>\nand smiling is enough to get by.<\/p>\n<p>I listened to the decemberists while walking down the champs elysees.<br \/>\nAfter I did that, I felt like my journey was complete. The rest is cake.<br \/>\nI have to say, it sounds much more romantic in the song than in real<br \/>\nlife. But I sort of expected that. And the arc de triomphe didn&#8217;t<br \/>\ndisappoint.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really sorry about all the spelling errors.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to say, I love sandwiches and this place is the land of<br \/>\nthe sandwich. I love it, I look forward to lunch everyday. Lunch is the<br \/>\nbest. I can&#8217;t wait for it to be lunch time tomorrow. I might have to get<br \/>\na sandwich before I take off for the zoo, just in case they don&#8217;t have<br \/>\nsandwiches there. I love sandwiches. Today I had chicken salad. The mayo<br \/>\nwas seasoned with fresh herbs, it was on country bread. It was so good.<br \/>\nAs were the cookies&#8230; I guess I&#8217;m having a pretty good time.<\/p>\n<p>If I can figure out how to get there, I&#8217;m going to spend my day tomorrow<br \/>\nat the zoo and the surrounding park. I need some grass and nature. The<br \/>\nzoo is supposedly one of the first zoos to drop caging of animals and<br \/>\nhas them in more natural habitats. Can&#8217;t be as cool as the one in cork<br \/>\nireland but I&#8217;ll give it a whirl.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dinner Originally uploaded by angrypirate.
