Saturday Shopping

I had not brought enough clothing for three weeks. Laundry is extremely expensive here so I thought I'd find a place to buy some more socks and underwear. I found the prices to be extremely high on clothing. The same brands in Paris were often 3 or 4 times as high as at home. For example, a pair of Levi's jeans at 30% off is about $135. I spent nearly sixty U.S. dollars on a few pairs of socks and underwear. Ouch.

I do not recall the significance of the following pictures... I snapped this building near a square where artists sell their own paintings. I bought two small oil paintings there.



This picture was taken at the Galeries Lafayette, a Parisian shopping mall.
For dinner, we went back to the Latin Quarter and ate at a Morrocan restaraunt. The food tasted excellent but was very unique to me. The meats were mostly backbones, a part that we Americans rarely touch.
