Beer mixed with Lemonade

Yes, beer mixed with lemonade really does exit. It's like the adult form of an Arnold Palmer in my opinion. You can buy this in a 6 pack just like normal beer. It's called Panaché. It's beer that's kinda sweet. I liked it. Apparently, it's made by Heineken, so says their website.



Today I woke up at 2:30PM. So far no illness or jetlag though almost everyone in Laurent's apartment is sick so it's only a matter of time I suppose. Laurent's poor wife, Claire was super sick tonight and both of his kids, Cyprien and Amaury, have colds.

This evening, Laurent graciously agreed to make some phone calls to my prospective apartments since I get a little nervous speaking on the phone in French. He, not so graciously, felt the need to tell all of the landlords that I really wanted an internet connection so I could write my blog. Apparently, that's all I do. That was nice and embarrassing.

Did you know that bathrooms in France are separated? The toilet part is in one room (called the toilets in French) and the sink and shower/bath are in a completely separate room (called the bathroom in French). I just wanted to make sure you knew about this since it's very different from the US.

One more point of interest, IKEA is very popular here. I didn't know it was all over the world but yes, cheap Swedish crap can also outfit apartments in France. Who would have thunk it?

Oh yeah, and my luggage was found finally and is out for delivery but who knows when it will arrive. It's 1:00am here already and I was told not to expect it until tomorrow. How wonderful.
