Euro Disco round 2

Last night was one of the best nights I've had since I've been out of the US, next to Loco Mosquito of course. Jen, my newest companion, and I met Bruno for dinner. It was lovely and long and full of conversation as a proper french meal should be. Here we are finishing dinner around 11pm and Bruno has to go home to wash dished before his girlfriend arrives from Paris so he escorts us to O'Shannon's and he is off. Jen and I order a "Sex on the Beach" and are chatting it up when someone taps us on the shoulder and invites us to thier table. There you have the crux of the evening. That was the end of any English conversation and the next 2.5 hours were a French frenzy. Salim, our buddy, was doing everything he could to help our langauge skills...patiently listening as we stuttered over ourselves. After a few more glasses of wine the convo was really flowing. O'Shannons closes at 2. I'm thinking the evening is over. O how mistaken I was. Off to the Skat (spelling?) for pretty good music and a great time of dancing. By 4 I was fatigued and Jen and I decided to leave. Outside this charming establishment we met Jaguar and Hash who we had met on Tuesday at a party for foreign kids. Although, they are french. We exchanged numbers after they escorted us to the Rotonde. And who just happend to be at the Rotonde but Salim and Co. who offered to drive us home. Thank goodness cause my pieds were barking.

Needless to say, I slept in this morning.

I bought a membership to the Mejane. This is the "City of Books" to translate. They have a lot of great resourses and cultural events. The symphony was there but I missed it a cause de my coffee date with Ariane. It's also a great study space. I can check out CDs and sing along with the Frenchies to aid my accent. There is a film about Africains and King Louis XVII there today. I'm going to see what that is all about.
