Let's play a game, it's called the six degrees of Kevin Bacon... Sandra Bullock was in Two Weeks Notice with Hugh Grant, who was in Nine Months with Robin Williams, who was in Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, who was in Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks, who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon! This is how I kept entertained during the four mile walk from Vernon to Giverny. Monet's house wasn't very spectacular but his gardens were beautiful. It was like stepping into one of his paintings. While I have had some great meals so far in France, today's lunch was by far the best. I was actually successful in ordering my meal in French and for once the waiter smiled at me instead of looking pained. I had an amazing crepe with eggs and potatoes and for desert another crepe with fresh berries and whipped cream. Yummy! Vernon, the main city outside of Giverny, is a beautiful city within its own right; it has picturesque views and quaint little houses. I found an internet café and when I looked up a couple of minutes later I noticed a couple of boys hanging around. I began talking to them and before long we were in a full blown conversation, and I was way over my head in unknown French language territory. The guys didn't speak great English, so there were a lot of gaps in the conversation. They told me that I should stay in Vernon and come to a party with them, I laughed and told them that I really wasn't interested, but it took them awhile to get the message... French boys... I went back to the hostel with every intention of going to sleep when Felix, a German I met the night before, invited me out with a bunch of British guys staying at the hostel. I hit it off with Pete, a Londoner studying at Stanford who came to Paris to study French, and Mark, from Bristol. Mark and I talked about how much we missed our dogs and for some unknown reason he was really interested in the fact that I am a master goat showman... Paris has been a rollercoaster, even though its been fun, I am ready to move on.
