The First Pain Au Chocolat

After wandering around for about 3.5 hours, I decided to get my first pain au chocolat of the trip. Unfortunately, the woman in the patisserie didn’t understand me when I asked for a croissant avec chocolat, and she gave me a croissant and a chocolate croissant. I’m not too disappointed; it was only 1.5 Euros for the two. So I ate my pain au chocolat in La Place de Jaude (a large concrete park in the middle of the shopping district) while the birds flocked because of the wonderful flakiness of the pastry. I am afraid that the proximity of the bakery to my house will cause me to go there, almost daily. But do not worry! I also walked to my school and it’s a good hike up and down hills, for about 20 minutes one way. On the way back home I found a yarn store, as well as a circus store! I asked the woman if I could take a picture of the store, and not only did she say yes, but she understood me! Ah this trip is just wonderful, now if I could only be able to get on-line to talk to my boyfriend! Zut! Maybe tonight I will be able to go on-line to talk to him.

And what you may ask has become of the croissant? It is safely hidden in my room for a midnight snack tonight after dinner! I can’t wait, we’re having crepes!

Peace, Love and Croissants!
