Everyone speaks French. Also, they have the Eiffel Tower here now.
Seriously... Europe is currently experiencing a blizzard. I was supposed to fly into LHR Saturday morning. After circling above London for an hour they closed the airport and we diverted to CDG. I could write another thousand words or so about what has happened to me since then, but to make it short I spent last night in a hotel in the 14th arrondisement in a snowy, slushy City of Lights. Let it be clear that Europe has NO EARTHLY IDEA how to deal with snow. It is impossible to get to the British Isles right now if you are not already there. And I thought North Carolina was bad about this kind of thing.
Oh, well, there are worse places to be stuck, I guess. It's snowing even worse here than it was yesterday, so I have no idea when I'll get back to the States. But for now I have the day in Paris.
