Well, I bet you can't guess where I'm sitting.
McDonald's. It's the classiest McDonalds I've ever seen by far, where they offer your choice of bun...! Trés interessant. I came for the wi-fi, and bought a coffee seulement. The coffee actually comes in a ceramic mug, which was surprising. But this establishment is by far the busiest place around. There's a long line the moment you walk in the door, and there are but a few open tables. But at least McDonald's does not forget where they are from: I'm listening to Katy Perry's wonderful voice shouting all around me. Andrew's favorite. I hope this isn't a tease for you - but I'm sure you can hear her on almost every radio station aux États-Unis.

I walked here with a new friend, Susan, who is in level B2 (I'm in A2, so she's quite a bit more advanced) and is here from Toronto. We took a stroll into Gallerie Lafayette which resembles Bloomingdale's and sells little things for big prices. Come on - shorts for >150 euros? I don't think so. Susan found something on sale and went to buy it, only to find out that it’s only on sale IF you have a Gallerie Lafayette credit card and membership… so she said “non, merci!”
Susan and I, plus ~12 other Alliance Francaise students, took un cours de cuisine this afternoon après classe. We cooked a delicious feast of poisson citroen avec courges vertes and it was delicious at a French cooking school, l’Atelier des Chefs. It was very enjoyable (and easy to make!)!
Tomorrow is the commencement of the Fête le Fleuve, the bi-annual festival of the River Garonne that flows through Bordeaux. Every other year, Bordeaux hosts the VinExpo, a large wine exposition. And on the off years, to encourage tourism, Bordeaux’s Ministre des Évenements put on this festival. Tomorrow afternoon, Susan and I are going to meet up to go to the festival and grab some lunch. I hope it doesn’t rain!
Until then!
