A Cause Des Garcons -Yelle

Hier soir, I met up with Samira and her friend Julien & co. We met at a cafe in the Marais at the intersection of rue de Bretagne and rue de Turenne. It was yet another night of drinks with frenchies and invigorating language+culture discussions. I'm always blown away at how warm and friendly the French are (once they discover we speak French, that is). Samira met them when she was alone at the Jardins de Luxembourg last Sunday and they approached her and asked her to go out with them. When one of their girlfriends showed up, the guys all told her to speak English and she balked a bit and said, if they are here in France they should speak French! I promptly agreed with her (in French) and the conversation continued on, more heavily in French this time, but much more jovial and educational. One thing to take note of: the French LOVE mojitos...! More on this later, I must finish packing before check-out. We'll be vacating all day and coming back to the hotel around 530pm to get taxi-ed off to our Madames.
