Today it was bitterly cold again, like yesterday... actually, it wasnt quite as cold, maybe we are getting used to this; i hope not! we decided to wake up 'early' and hit up day 2 of the soldes. headed out just before 11 and made our way to G. LaFayette [to check on my longchamp bag] and then to Zara. we each got a couple things at zara, but it was such madness we were forced to leave.
we decided to take the tram to this place the Fnac lady told us about the other day. in search of a curling iron we went to Fnac, which has SOME appliances, and were told to take the tram and go to "ocean". so we got to the tram, and got our money out to buy a carnet [book of 10] tickets, 10,40. well damn, the machine doesnt take bills. so we scramble to find 10euro of change as the tram is coming. it stops we get our tickets and then try to cram on, but its obvious that we BOTH arent going to make it. so we decided to just wait for the next one.
we made it to our destination and discovered "Auchan" the french wal mart. they had everything you could ever want. its actually better than wal mart since you can buy booze there [liquor, liqueur, champagne, wine, beer] and all for SUPER cheap. so we made only a few purchases since we didnt have our bags with us. i got hangers, dish soap, sponges, detergent and chips for 5,53! wooop wooop
and lisa got her curling iron. on sale.
the end
