Gouda's Cheesewheel

WAAAHHHH boo hoo!!

I cry proverbially for two reasons: one, I am no longer in Morocco (I haven't really cried much about this yet) and two, I wrote a very detailed email outlining the anecdotes of today, but somehow accidentally CLOSED THE WINDOW it was in with no remaining trace of it. Thus my hour at this expensive cyber café was essentially wasted and my email is no more. So, the basics before my hour is up--I am in Paris; I felt really dumb today, but asking questions got me where I needed to go (not without making me feel more dumb first); when I try to speak French, people ask me if I speak English; I am poor and this cyber is 3,50 € and hour, so I probably won't be able to write email again until I get home next Tuesday; I plan to attend lots of free attractions and ride the bus and metro a lot, because my money was alotted primarily to the hotel (30 € a night--quite cheap and very nice but shared with two random women) and to a 5-day transportation pass. I think that is all I can fit in my limited time. So sorry you all didn't get the more detailed version of the email which vanished into thin air. If people want to help me move, I'm aiming for Wednesday the 25th. To my parents, please contact Securcare and tell them this is the day I will come get my stuff out, so they don't overcharge me.

Also, congratulations to Dan on graduating.

OK, no more time, off to be Frenchy (if the Parisians will let me). Love to everyone, especially my family.
