And more....

So let's see -
After class I had Indian food for the first time in my life. Authentic Indian cuisine I should say. Or well, authentic french indian cuisine :). My new friend Kate wanted to try a place and I'm game for expanding my food horizons so I went for it. It was pretty good. We hit the end of their lunchtime hours so we got free rice and free nan. We made a date to try out the Thai restaurant next door tomorrow ( or today I suppose ).
Tonight was the "Welcome Dinner" boat ride on the Seine. I was afraid it would be pretty touristy but actually - we didn't really pay any attention to the sights. It was just pretty much a dinner cruise. Kate and I met up at 7:30 and went to the boat together. It's her first time in Paris so I got to be the one to experience the eiffel tower with her for the first time. Dinner was good - nothing too crazy. It involved mashed potatoes and let me tell you ... I had no idea how much I missed mashed potatoes. After dinner we quick went back to the eiffel tower for some pictures and arrived right on time for when it goes sparkly. That's my favorite second only to right at sunset. Ahh. We did some intense running in heels to make it to the metro before they closed and had to do even more running at our transfer because the people mover wasn't working! Really served its purpose - yeahhh. So anyway - I'm tired, long day, all this french is catching up with me again. I need a vacation :).
