3. a little bit of Paris

C'est la vie"- Such is life

I popped out of the office for a few minutes today (again) to visit my favorite French patisserie Croissont D'Or. For those that don’t know- this place is AMAZING as far as sweets and all things beautiful go.

I walked in and noticed an old teacher from high school observing the chocolate; Mr. Anderson- I was always quite intrigued by this teacher as he was slightly strange but obviously very intelligent. I wrestled with myself as to whether or not I should communicate and do the whole awkward"hello" thing with him. In the end I did say my hello,  and he seemed pleased to see me- I honestly believe he still does not know who the hell I am- nether the less it was sweet.

As he left he told the cashier to choose a chocolate for me, and put 3 dollars on the counter.

It was a Paris moment, in a French patisserie on East Row.  I often think about France and its charm, I often think about how quickly people are to judge the sometimes arrogant French individuals. In saying that I urge people to think about why they appear so arrogant to us. Maybe, just maybe, they appreciate the finer things in life and the charm that should go with it and perhaps they are angry at the rest of the world because we seem to have lost it to a certain degree.


Or they could just be rude. Ill leave that thought with you.

Find the charm in something everyday, its there most of the time. Sometimes it just goes unnoticed because we forget it actually exists so we tend not to look for it.

Sometimes I wish I was back in France, studding French at school lazing by the Eiffel tower on my days off.
