An American Tourist Walks into a Bar…by Christy


Last night was so much fun. We started the evening off by dining at a French Chinese restaurant. The food was so flavorful.  It was very different from American Chinese food, but very good. I have been completely spoiled; Chris has been cooking the most delicious pasta dishes for us for dinner. We have been staying in for dinner a lot so was really nice sitting down to eat at a small table on the streets of Paris. 

We have been frequenting a French bakery, picking up Chicken baguette sandwiches and creative pizza for lunch to the point where the owner knows exactly what we want upon seeing us. I am determined to get photos with the beautiful mademoiselle before we leave Paris for Roma early Friday morning. 

After dinner we headed to a small local bar near our hotel in the Vincennes area. There we laughed and drank a bit before starting up a conversation with the local bar patrons. This conversation turned into a long night of laughter. We meet a pharmacist who loved Bob Marley, a bartender who told Chris to shave his beard, and a psychiatrist with Iraqi origins who Arabic danced with me(I always attract what I need).  We had a blast! Once they found out that I was half Syrian and that my birthday was coming up on Thursday, they insisted that we come back the next day so that they could cook us couscous and share some champagne. So that is where we are headed tonight. Chris is clean shaven and we are off to celebrate my birthday with new friends.
