Calmez-vous,I'll explain. If you burn, say a cake, while baking in France, they call it "a suffocated Christian"- C'est un étouffé-chrétien. Apparently this is widely used but you should NOT tell your french mom that dinner tasted like one. I'd also like you to be well aware that I did plenty of window licking this weekend. Yes, of course the french say they licked windows in place of window shopping- why is this not surprising in the least bit?? J'aime faire du lèche -vitrine!
I am well aware I have not updated in quite some time and I am going to save the weekend update for when I have WIFI access. However, I've decided to be sort of generous and tell you about le Musée Rodin, which I visited today. If you like sculpture, this is the place for you. Of course it has an exquisite garden, like most places in France, however it is the only place you get a view of the thinker "le penseur" and the le Tour Eiffel at once. Oui,oui! I have been obsessed with "the kiss" since my art history class at Furman (which of course I forgot a good 60% of everything we studied) but it was so beautiful in person. Painting is one thing- most everyone can imagine a flat surface and creating depth and shape but sculpture is not for everyone. Can you imagine starting out with a block of stone and then magically there is a perfect human form? Incredible. For those of you who prefer painting, they had 4 different Van Gogh's. I liked looking at different angles to see the thickness of the paint. He really slapped it on there too. I'm kidding, I know he didn't "slap" anything.
I'm "au pairing" again tomorrow night. I'm starting at 8 which is great because even though I obviously love the littles anges (angels) I love getting paid for sitting around and doing my homework more.
à bientot mes amis:)
