Always an Adventure

The adventures never cease to end! Today after school I drove Cori and Lisa to the other side of the city to get a drum fixed. There were many adventures on the way...that's what I love about this place. It's never boring when you go out and about.

The horn on our little car was not working and I was honestly very fearful for our lives because of that very thing. There are so many things you use a horn for here..."Beep beep, I'm here." "Beep beep, the light is green." "Beep beep, you need to choose a side of the road, the middle is not an option." "Beep beep, hello." Finally, after pushing it enough, (giving it CPR as Cori said), it started working again. And all ended well.

On our way back I got a craving for "pan au chocolat" (bread with chocolate inside), so we pulled over to one bakery that told us they were closed on Monday. That was a little odd since Monday would be the one day of the week you would think most people would need a little "pick me up"...so we went on to another one and got the pan au chocolat. Then as we were walking out, I saw some rotisseire (sp?) chicken that looked really yummy and we went in and ordered that. As Lisa and I were looking around, we found the name of the little place was "Quick Fast-Food". Creative? Yes, the name was even in English! It wasn't overly quick...and not really what would be considered "fast-food" by American standards...but as Lisa stated, its not really about how fast they can make it, its about how fast you can eat it...that's why they put everything all onto one sandwhich...fries, meat....and whatever else happens to be around!

I love adventure. And there is no lack of it here. I might miss this after I leave. Hm. Yes, I might.
