Today is All Saints Day, a holiday here in France. Since I'm already on holiday, it was business as usual for me, or almost as usual because lucky Erik also took the day off.
A journee feriee calls for a sleep in, my first in almost two weeks (it's been a busy vacation so far!). Also on our list for the day were a trip through the brocante along Edgar Quinet (Erik is looking for a guitar) and a trip out to the magasin d'usines on Ile St Denis, north of the city.
Unfortunately we didn't find any guitars at the brocante, but had more luck at the outlet store. We were both in the market for new running shoes, and Erik was desperately in need of new work shoes. This mall is currently having a promotion where if you buy three items, the third is only 1 euro. So, we walked out of the Nike store with three pairs of baskets for only slightly more than the price of one new pair at a regular store. Erik also found a suitable (read: exactly the same) replacement for his work shoes, so he can now enjoy the walk to work without any unwanted ventilation. :)
We've just enjoyed a typical Sunday evening of cooking, kir and iTunes, enhanced by the fact that it's not Sunday yet, and we'll get to do it again in a couple of days. Sometimes we're just so lame.
Oh, we've also managed to squeeze in as many episodes of the Office as we can. So. Freaking. Funny. And to think we didn't think we'd enjoy it cause neither of us work in an office. Hah.
So there you go, a glimpse into our glamorous lives here in Paris. (insert eye roll here)
Hope everyone had a scary Halloween.
