Supermarket Discoveries


Returning to France reunites me with one of my favorites beers..1664 by Kronenberg. One of our favorite Belgium beers, Leffe, is sold as widely as Bud in the U.S. but comes in three varieties here. And we thought we'd only be drinking wine?! Today we woke up late, hung out around Notre Dame and a few playgrounds then embarked on one of my favorite pastimes....grocery shoppijng. I think one of the most fascinating parts of travel is visiting the local supermarket, great insight into the culture and so cool seeing all the different foods. Pierce managed to make his presence known by pushing a bottle of beer off the shelf, which promptly shattered. In typical French fashion, no one even batted an eye, much less the six workers who saw it happen. The one woman in the aisle said to Mitch who was attempting to clean it up "Leave it, not your problem" in French. Kinda like the way they feel about picking up dog poop :)
