So Tom and I are leaving for Paris tonite! Very exciting although I was a bit apprehensive. I did just search the web for gluten free dining in Paris and basically there are no restaurants that specialize in a "gluten free" menu. BUT every blog I read pretty much my mind at ease. A lot of travelers said that when you hand your gluten free dining card (in French) to a waiter that they take it very seriously. This makes sense since the French take their food so seriously. No where did I read that the waiters were rude about it...maybe this pushes them out of their usual busy distracted (sometimes rude) state. I am trying to make this trip and not be wrapped up with the idea of food, I figure I will just eat omelette's and salads but I am looking at my suitcase that is completely packed with gluten free snacks! I could feed and small Army of wheat less eaters! I did find out three types of natural health food stores and they even have really cute websites...check out the art on this one, (La vie Claire) doesn't this illustrator look familiar? Anyway since I can't read French, I of course can't find the locations! ha! Actually, I just went a "googled mapped it" and found a local close to my hotel...I just LOVE solving my own problems. Monica is getting very excited!
I did Google the best design stores and can't wait to drag Tom to them! I promise to take pictures and get sooo inspired! My sweet sister is answering all my email for me and I will be back late Saturday so I know I should not fret about any missed assignments BUT did I tell you that when I was in New York the Wall Street Journal called for a quick turn around job? Geez, a girl travels once year and all the fun stuff happens while she is gone! Maybe it just feels like once a year because I used to travel so much!
