Mexican Food? In Paris???

Today we set out to find some Mexcian food, as it'd been 3 weeks since we last had some and there is no way I could last 6 months without at least some sort of Mexican/Tex-Mex. There's actually a surprising number of Mexican places (ie over half a dozen) that get decent reviews. Obviously nothing will ever be as good as back home, but we were just looking for something to get us through the trip. The one closest to us is pretty expensive though, so we took the metro up north a place called Itacate Saveurs de Mexique, which I thought wasn't half bad, though Kara didn't particularly like it (she found it too bland). That is something common among Mexican food place reviews in Paris, apparently Parasians do not like spicy food much, so it tends to be under seasoned and spiced. It was also a bit of an adventure as we ended up ordering in Spanish since the owners spoke that and Kara's Spanish is still much better than her French. There's quite a few more places to try so we'll keep exploring Paris's Mexican culture!

Also there's actually a Chipotle now open in Paris, though neither of us really like Chipotle (I really don't get the fanatical devotion, Freebirds and Moes are so much better IMHO) but at least it's an option in a pinch.

On the way back home there we ran across a tour group on rollerblades. Those "wheelie shoes" as an unnamed person might have described this as ::ahem::, are still alive and well here apparently!

Finally I also attempted to get a haircut today. There's a place near the train station near work, so I stopped in after work to try and get one. This is another one of those things that is much more difficult in another language. Luckily one of the people getting his hair cut spoke English, so he could translate for us, and I discovered I needed an appointment, so I was able to make one then. Under the name she wrote "Monsieur Anglais", or "Mr. English" which I thought was fun. The appointment is on Tuesday, and my hair is getting crazy uncontrollable, so hopefully this all works out before I leave for Vienna the next day.
