Impromptu concert near the Louvre and the neighborhood nearby
Paris is a city full of wonder! As we were going past the Louvre, we ran across an impromptu concert! The musician were great, and it just added the the sense of wonderment I encountered during my first day of my Paris visit.
Paris est merveilleux!
Lost in the translation!
Although I did attempt to learn enough French to be somewhat conversational, there were some words that I simply did not know!
Poissons is one of the examples of words lost in translation! Imagine my shock when I saw a restaurant that served "poison".
Ever armed with my French phrase book, I discovered that "poisson" translated to "fish" in English. Call that my first real-life lesson in French!
