i ate kebab two days ago.
apparently that’s some kind of (delicious-ish) gyro-like meat stuffed in a pita. it made my stomach feel like it was going to explode for two days. ew.
anyway. the point of telling you this is that michael moore was right! prescription drugs in france are f’in’ cheap!
as you probably know, the dollar sucks right now, so i was assuming that things would be ludicrously overpriced. for example, an 8 oz bottle of apple juice cost 3 euro, roughly $4.50. my prescription antacids (pictured above) cost a whopping 1 euro 58. that’s like 3 bucks. kidding? no way. for reals. for super super seriouses.
so yes. get sick in france. it’s cheaper.
i promise - now that i’m kebab-less - my posts will be more interesting. katie and i are going to take a morning stroll to buy phone cards tomorrow, so i’ll take some basic photos of the immediate surroundings and post them for your viewing pleasure.
til then, i’ll eat blandly, and drink only cassis and flat water. it’s yum.

Don’t you remember AJ’s dilemma in France last year? Sorry you were ill - hope it didn’t stop you from creating. Be good to your tummy - my advice as your Mom. Ponce is heavenly - we leave tomorrow for North Çarolina - we’ll miss him and him us…Grams will have to give him his lovin’. If you get a phone card and plan on calling - call us on my cell as we will be travelin the hiways and byways of the south. Stay well!
Luv,
Mom, Dad, Ponce and Grams!
