Paris! Ok, it's Charles DeGaulle Airport.
I am doing some last minute shopping. I have been carrying around 10 Great Britian Pounds since last September. Why? I kept forgetting to exchange it.
In exchange, I got 8 Euros. Immediately, they started burning a hole in my pocket. Also, I can't use them readily in Congo. So, I should spend them here.
I stopped at the bookstore to purchase something. Twenty-six Euros later, I walked out with 3 French-English Phrase Books and 2 Bars of Toblerone Chocolate. And I still have 8 Euros because I used my credit card.
Then, I got the bright idea to take some other reading materials to Bulape. I found a stand of free magazines. Three or four copies each are great presents for some friends and the library at the Bulape Cultural Center.
I bought an Expresso and a Raisin Bread for 3.50 Euros. I got more shopping to do!
