City Canine

Since it takes me forever to shop for groceries anyway (what with the language difference and products I've never seen), I decided why not make it even longer by walking across the bridge to go to a different Franprix (please don't read that with a French accent, it's funnier that way). I've gone by here on runs but previously failed to notice City Canine! This is pretty much like Dog Services, where my brother works, so I had to take some photos.

City Canine, right next to Franprix!

You can even see the dogs inside - that note on the window asks passers-by not to tap on the glass. I think that white dog was excited to see someone in the window.

Saturday night, Philippe and I got sandwiches for dinner and ate them by the river. When I was in Denmark, Elisabeth and I noticed Pizza Kebab places all over Copenhagen and Helsingborg (Sweden) - Pizza, Kebabs, Falafel, all in one convenient location! Paris has lots of kebab places, but I have only found one that also had pizza. Turns out it's probably best to let them specialize because my falafel sandwich was not as amazing as the last one. For lack of any other photos from the weekend, here are ones from where we ate.

After I took this beauty, a man walking by offered to take one for us...I think he did a better job.

I wish I'd had my camera with me yesterday! My friend Molly and I met up to find the Paris Food Not Bombs group - I'd gotten an e-mail from them about when and where they were meeting but still no luck finding them! I e mailed back asking about the next meeting and will probably ask for a phone number so we can finally track them down. When we quit the search, it was only 1:30, so we hopped back on the metro and headed to the Musee D'Orsay, which has works by the likes of Rodin, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and van Gogh. We ran into her roommate there, who got in for free by explaining that although she is not a student from an EU nation, she's a student with a French visa. Why didn't we try that? The museum was well worth our 5.50 euro and a reasonable enough size for us to wander through the whole thing in one afternoon. Granted, we did walk through the "Art Nouveau" aka random furniture collection pretty quickly.
