Ah, Paris!

I have arrived in the fabulous land of France. After a tearful goodbye & a long wait at the Yaounde airport, I & 3 fellow COSers flew to Casablanca today. We said our goodbyes at the Mohammed IV airport, as they are spending 10 days in Morocco. I continued on to Paris. I splurged on a 50 Euro cab ride from CDG to the apartment because I had a lot of bags and I deserved it.

Then I took a much needed shower and nap. For dinner I wandered the neighborhood and discovered a tasty Tibetan restaurant. I had black mushroom & vermecelli soup, fried vegetable & cheese dumplings with red wine, and, for dessert, saffron rice and yak butter tea. The amount I spent on dinner would feed Bokito for a day, but I deserve it! (Although I support Tibetans' fight for independence from China, I must admit that the yak butter tea is rancid.)

Didn't manage to get a SIM card, so no phone number yet. I did have one meaningful conversation in Parisian, though!

Tomorrow's plans: croissants, long stroll.
