The screen says this is post #100. Wow. I never thought the total would grow so high. If anyone still reads this, thank you!
We're still enjoying Lyon. Tomorrow we'll trek to Geneva!
Yesterday, I had a revelation whilst relaxing in Starbucks. A Tall Coffee of the Week here is 2.60 euros (approximately $4). At home it costs $1.81. Up until yesterday, I considered Starbucks here expensive because of this price comparison. Suddenly, I realized tiny coffees here can cost more than that. They actually offer a great value! In an average French cafe, the price of a cafe creme ranges between 2.40-3.50 euros. And a Starbucks Tall is atleast thrice its size. This probably sounds dumb, but it made me feel free, calm, and happy to enjoy sitting there with my hot American-sized beverage.
On a sadder note, I just read the "Averages" pages of www.weather.com for Valenciennes. The average temperature will never be warm. The dead heat of August, there, is 72 degrees. Coincidentally, this equals Austin's average March temperature. I grow despondent thinking of this.
Why do they even sell short-sleeved shirts?
