the roses are so beautiful...i just had to buy some for my room...
kim and me at the mosc
early sat morning....
had a full day..didn’t push myself too much..i kinda like to take things easy when i travel. i don’t like to have a schedule. i
strive to do what ever people do in the place i’m in.
so today i had my petite dejeuner... then wondered over to notre dame and the saine..looked at it...that was my touristy thing. next i just wondered the streets of paris and headed to kim’s hood for lunch. we met at her local market. i got there a bit early so i could do some people watching. the people here..they seem happy and relaxed. you see them ordering their meat smiling, chatting with the local butcher...they smile at you as they pass by...it’s nice.
we went to the local mosc for lunch. there is a thriving Moroccan community in paris. Morocco is somewhere i have always wanted to go to and i love the food. the mosc was very colourful and nice and sparrows flew around eating couscous. i had amazing amazing lamb dish finished with Moroccan mint tea. which i needed b/c i think the heavy food of the last day or two was getting to me a bit.
after that i went for some more strolling the streets...just soaking in the sights and smells. the food here...wow...it all looks and smells so amazing.
this evening i met up with kim and her friends peter, a german fashion designer and neil, a british architect. we went to this talk at a gallery by rapper chuck d from public enemy...it was fine....probably more interesting for the french people who don’t know so much about american culture. after we went for a very late dinner and wine and chatted. i think i may be getting my fix....what i miss so much in vancouver.... great conversations with interesting people whos ideas and experiences maybe similar or very different from your own....fuck i miss that!! i use to get that alot in japan and ottawa even a bit in toronto as well as within my own family. why is it so rare in vancouver?? i’m so out of practice it’s embarrassing...like my french something that has been left on the self for to to long and needs dusting off...that was kims analogy on languages and it’s a good one i think....my mind is so closed these days...has been for a long time. now....now...i think it’s time to reopen for business!!!
