Paris Hippies!Hello there. Today I woke up late (after noon!), went to the hipster part of town where I'd read about brunch at Cafe Charbon (109 rue Oberkampf, 11e, Metro to Parmentier or Menilmontant ). They didn't have anything veg on the menu, but the waitress was so paitent with my mangled French (she spoke English back to me, so not that paitent) that she brought me yummy goodness (actual food! not just cheese and bread!) and cafe noir. Good Stuff. Then back to the room to get some things, and I headed towards Centre Pompidou, but what should appear but a growing band of dancing, pierced, army-surplus-wearing, tatooed HIPPIES! I stumbled upon a giant street party where I danced and hung out for hours. I met a random guy who was wearing a Slashdot teeshirt (the language of geek is universal, and it's English). I think I caught a cold because by the time I made it to the Pompidou, I was pooped. I read my book in the cafe with some soup, and then came home to find free wireless if I held the laptop.. just... so.... (see tomorrow's entry for that one!)
