So by "popular" demand, here's some pics of my apartment.






So this weekend has been pretty lazy, I did a lot of sitting around...on the computer. Although today, I did manage to get out to a marker, Place Monge. Basically a little farmer's market, about a 15-20 minute walk from the ol' apartment. Quite quaint, I managed to pick up various things, including *drumroll* some chevre fraise to go on my baguette. Yeah, I'm that French. The veggies all looked delicious, and I'm sure they'll taste as good when I get around to cooking it.
Otherwise it was a relaxing Sunday afternoon. I sat in a cafe in Bastille, enjoyed a glass of Savignon Blanc, and had a salade Parisienne. Basically it was advertised as a salad with hard boiled egg, ham, cheese and tomatoes. Being a North American, I was expecting lots of lettuce, and a few chunks of cheese and ham throughout. Aah non non! Out came this utter mound of food, covered in ham and cheese, with a mustard vinegrette all over it. Quite delicious and unexpected. And Belgian Endive on the side, I never thought I'd see that other than my mother's cooking.
Anywho, hope all is well with everything for everyone. Au revoir for now.

I wish Calgary had some character to it. Our buildings are so new, they can't seem to compare to those in Europe.
And it sounds like eating there is quite a treat!
