As you may have noticed, Kara's posting things too now. If you couldn't tell the difference between our writing styles, it has our names at the bottom of which ones we write.
Today we went to the farmers market near us, and got some pastries, bread, rotisserie chicken, and some caramelized onion galettes. I wasn't too big of a fan of the last one, but Kara loved hers, and there was a really long line for them (we probably waited about 15 minutes). The market was really crowded and the food all looked really good so we'll definitely be back.
Kara still wasn't feeling great, so I went off exploring on my own again. I went across the Ponte des Arts, which has a ridiculous number of locks attached to it that people have placed. It's crazy, it's locks upon locks at this point. There's quite the online argument though over if it's romantic, or if it's vandalism.
Then I read for a while in the Tuileries gardens, and then wandered across a really pretty bridge before taking the metro home. It's supposed to rain the next 2 days so I had to get in some sightseeing while the weather was still pretty nice. Also apparently I look Italian, since I had one Italian couple ask me to take their photo, and another ask me where Les Invalides was (which we were right in front of, so at least I could say 'oui').
I forgot to send in my Federal Voting Assistance Program application in time for Austin elections at the start of November, so I'll be missing only my second election ever. Doh!
The internet also went out in our apartment this evening. Trying to get that fixed isn't quite as simple when you don't speak the language. Luckily a power cycle fixed the problem and we were once again connected.
And finally, I added new photos from the walk today, so check them out!
