Thing to do in Avignon on a nice day: Drink coffee at a cute cafe, eat a cheap lunch with your friends on a terrace, window shop, enjoy the weater on l’isle de barthelasse, and/or walk around Place Pie, les Halles, or Rue de la Republique. Things not to do in Avignon on a nice day: Drink beer at a bar, because it always turns into multiple beers. Eat an expensive lunch near the carousel at Place de l’Horloge. Enter the stores you were window shopping at (Seriously, don’t do it. I’ve given in one too many times, and I’m suffering due to the exchange rate), buy expensive italian ice cream from vendors (one scoop in france is a spoonful in the states), go into the longchamps store and think about that new purse. I combined from both of those lists, and now I’m thinking I should have just gone to the island and not spent money. Current exchange rate:1 € = $1.38 = FML

Everything in France is expensive. Really expensive. I bought contact solution (a small bottle, which I had to buy at a pharmacy) for more than $8. Kind of ridiculous. And the conversion rate makes things ten times worse. Oh well, I still went shopping today because I want to look more French, if that makes sense. Basically, that means more boho or indie. All the girls here where leggings and boots and dresses sinched at the waist with big chunky belts. Or, they wear jeans, mostly, French women rarely show their legs. Thomas said that it’s because they only wear shorts and skirts in the summer when it’s nice out. Well, it was nice out this week, and everybody was in jeans. Had I been in jeans, I might have sweated until I dehydrated. Anyways, mostly, I wanted to share my ‘big bag’ photo. I found it awesome and hilarious.

Best exhibit ever. Picasso’s work displayed on rock walls in a renovated quarry.

I want to be really tan by the time I get home. If the weather keeps up, this might be possible.

French rule of thumb.

Girls on sidewalk + 2 (or more) dudes in a car = Honking, lewd conversation/gestures, and a general sense of frustration between both parties.

French men shouldn’t be allowed to be so gross.

It’s sad, but I’ll probably remember my nights in France based on the number of shots I do.
