Bonjour!
This weekend, there was an event called Le salon du chocolat here in
Paris, which was basically a giant chocolate exposition... which I
didn't go to. I tried, but the line was enormous even if you'd already
bought a ticket (which I hadn't), and there was also this fall festival
(literally autumn fair, but I like fall festival better) at the same
place (the enormous expo center at la Porte de Versailles--not the same
place as the castle) so I decided to check that out instead, because
there was no line! For those of you familiar with the Topsfield Fair,
it was a bit like a giant version of Coolidge Hall; basically, it was a
big home show. So there were all sorts of interesting
vendors--paintings, oriental rugs, pots and pans, appliances, furniture,
and of course hot tubs, as well as scarves, clothes, jewelry, all sorts
of food, wine, soaps, cleaning products, as-seen-on-TV stuff.... So I
wandered around there for a while, which was quite interesting, and I
bought myself a silk scarf!

| The entryway to the fair: this is pretty much the extent of the foliage I'll see in Paris! |

| The outside of the building where the fair was held--the expo center was too big to get in a shot. |

| A really goofy picture that I took of myself that also shows my new silk scarf! |
