either everyone wears the same perfurme here--or what i am smelling is just a mixture, the average if you will, of all the perfumes, perhaps mixed with soleil and a bit of pine tree. there is definitely a fragrance of istres though.
i am waiting with impatience as they say for the mistral wind! on thursday it is supposed to be 110 km! quick conversion--like 60mph! whoooooah, can't wait for that. and i didn't even bring a kite.
todays goals=eat a croque monsieur, sign up for hiking
not accomplished.
tomorrow's goals=ride a bike (gasp!) to explore the parks of istres, write letters to grandparents
favorite french o'the day=julie est aux anges! (used on this apartment hunting show on tv, when these 2 women found this really sweet apartment in paris. the one woman's room you seriously had to climb up a ladder and through a crawl space to get to. then you crawl through a little window thing, and voila, a giant room with a huge skylight/ceiling with a view of paris...she was pretty happy)
other favorite french=pas de soucis ("no worries" or "akunamatata" if you will) a phrase used CONSTANTLY here
