I have decided that I cannot live without a hair dryer.
Once I got past that hurdle I made my way to a store that I consider to be a Wal-mart equivalent. I am sorry to admit, I like Wal-mart better. I eventually found my hair dryer in the unmarked appliance section that is next to the tv's and vcr's. This was only I asked the woman behind the counter if there were any in the store. She kind of laughed at me like, silly American, why don't you know where the hair-dryers are? Regardless, I found the much desired seche cheveux and now the universe is back in order again.
What really makes me happy about this whole experience, besides the purchase, was that I managed to ask a question and get a response and understand everything. Although most the time it doesn't feel like it, I have made a lot of improvements. Conjugating verbs is easier, I even learned a past tense in the process. After a month, or really three weeks in Rouen, I am more comfortable with the French language. I can't wait to see what my French will look like by the end of this experience.
This weekend I am making my way to Paris with a couple people in the group. We plan to get all the touristy stuff out of our system so that when we go back in March, we will be able to move off the beaten path. So this means the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, Sacre Coeur, and others. I am excited to take my first "train trip" in Europe. The plan is to travel as much as possible while I am here.
