Snails Are Friends, Not Food!
Hey everybody-
I hope you guys are all doing TERRIFICLY well…things in Paris are just dandy…very BUSY, but dandy!
First of all, tomorrow I have my medical appointment for my Carte de Séjour…had I not already had one of these appointments last year, I might be a bit nervous, but I rather know what to expect…go through the drills of making sure I don’t have any contagious viruses that I caught whilst in the Congo and are going to infect and kill of the French people. Oh yeah, they’ll probably check my eyesight and my blood pressure too. You know, standard procedue.
Anyhow, for this particular appointment, I needed to purchase a little stamp…you can get them in the “tabacs,” the little tobacco stores, or from the government agencies…I ended up purchasing mine from a neighborhood tabac, and then headed to the supermarket…and look at the friend I made along the way! I was ever so close to adopting him and bringing him home with me, as a snail seems to be quite an appropriate pet for a French resident like myself, but I realized that his company might not be all-that-stimulating…and he might get lonely without a little snail friend! At any rate, I had some fun with my snail before wishing him goodbye. Hope this particular little guy doesn’t end up one some hungry Frenchman’s plate…on a side note, after nearly two years in this country, I’ve yet to taste escargot. What’s up with that?
In addition to my medical appointment tomorrow, I shall be packing my bags and hauling them ACROSS town to my new apartment! As I mentioned previously, I shall be living with my crazy friend Aaron, and we are set to get the keys tomorrow evening. The new place is more than FOUR times the size of my current apartment, and you can bet I’m counting down the hour until I have an oven…absolutely can’t wait!
For tonight, Hillsong UNITED, is in town and all of my church friends are abuzz….we’re going to be rocking it out at the Alhambra théâtre….it’s going to be sooo awesome!
Hope you guys have an awesome day and I’ll catch up with you all again soon!
Adam
