Dear diary,

I am now running around in a foreign city dominated by the a language that I don't speak but where croissants are actually made with real give-you-a-heart-attack butter. PS the pata negra ham I was raving about earlier positively engulfs the meat section of the gourmet food area of La Gallerie Lafayette. wouldn't you just love some? Pictures of the bounty to come, I promise. Also, they demoted the Mona Lisa to now sharing a room and they put her behind dark tinted glass. F&M tea is triple the price here and sold in a fancy shoppe called Olde England. Go figure. I am poor. Please send money.

Love,
Your Secret Admiree.
