I've had success! When I've dreamed of coming to Paris, I've really had only one dream: to walk into a patisserie and order some wonderful french something and get out without excessive pointing. Well, I did it yesterday!! Yea! It will only get better from here! Of course, I couldn't understand anything the lady said to me after I ordered, but hey, that gives me something else to dream about!
Me: "Je voudrais un croissant s'il vous plaît." And voila!
(I know, there are two there, my friend ordered one after me and they were put in the same bag!)
They look yummy. I drove 20 minutes today for the best baguette in town (I'm told) just because I was jealous that you were at a real patisserie today!

Mmmmmmm... I am so jealous. I'm driving to bakersfield tomorrow and now I'm wondering if there is a good pain au chocolate anywhere. Way to go, Mom! French really works!
