The little wormy thing on the outside was moving like mad.
fresh and honest
What makes me say Paris is beautiful? Oh, come on. It is.

Why is this post so short?
Today is my work day. I have day-long meetings at Paris University.

Your pictures and words provide me with a delightful distraction from working on my Santa cookies.
L'homme ne vit pas seulement de pain. Usually I’m willing to try new foods, however, I don’t know if I could eat some that was still moving. In regard to your previous post: Having never learned proper cheese etiquette, I could use some enlightenment also.
Paris IS beautiful (but that thing doesn't even look like any oyster I ever saw).

Nancy: you'd know this much: you get a tray with some half dozen cheeses. Big chunks of them. You are a regular oinker if you wipe out two of them and substantially deplete the remaining four or five. I mean, think of the economics: The cheese course is usually around 10 Euros in most medium priced restuarnats. This dude just ate at least 25 Euros worth of cheese.
SCohn: I turned one shell upside down and around so you could see the bottom, so it looks odd. This one was especially encrusted with all sort of brittle shell matter -- home and fodder for these little critters I suppose. The guy shucking them was doing so outside the restaurant, at the market stall, where passers-by could buy their handful to take home. The stuff was oozing freshness. Literally.
Americans can complain about the French; however, as your photos clearly indicate, it looks like the French (for the most part) have figured out how to enjoy life in a much more fulfilling way.
Paris is beautiful and I'd love to return for a visit. The last time I was there was in 1992 and it was my honeymoon. Maybe you and I can go together sometime. It won't be as romantic as my last visit, but I know it'll be a good time anyway.
