Bonjour

I was just sitting outside a cafe and a european man walked by and uttered "bonjour" to me with a glancing smile as he passed. Some of life's pleasures last only a second. Most people I have run into here think that I am French or Italian or Bulgarian, "no sorry - American" "Your parents are parisian then?" "ha ha no." Americans really don't have a great reputation here - many American tourists are rude and of lower intelligence. Workin to break the stereotype. Maybe someday I'll be a naturalized European : )

    You always have looked sort of French... at least you'll fit in when you go to Paris, if you don't talk...
    In other news, I found your blog! This is Fawn, btw.

    Oh, yeah I'm not gonna make it to Paris. I had to choose and I decided on Italy and Spain, someday Paris but not this time.
