Another busy day at school! Three hours in a group of six, private tuition in the afternoon for two hours and then homework. A lot of work! It pays off however - I never thought it possible to make this much progress this fast! There is still a bit time for exploring though: with a lunchbreak of 1½ hours it is even possible to go exploring in the middle of the day. And what would a woman do in the middle of the day when the shops are open and she has to pass the time? Yes, she would go shopping! The sales are still on, so why not? Like any woman I like shoes and I like them a lot, so I went browsing the shoe shops in the area around Place de Clichy. And I think I made a bargain! I got the shoes in the picture – which were originally priced at 80 Euros – for 45 Euros. And I’ll say the timing is perfect as the much anticipated visit of my brother commences on Thursday afternoon. Hence I need comfortable shoes that will be able to carry me safely through the disastrous sidewalks in Paris for many, many hours each day. And aren’t they just cute with small flowers all over?
