(Window) Shopping in the Marais

    Yesterday we went on a little shopping field trip to take advantage of the month long sales here in Paris. We went to this area near the ice skating rink that we played at the other day and split up, trying to find the best sales. Every store was packed with people and clothes sat in unkempt piles after sifters had had their way with them. While most of the sales in the Marais were an astounding 50% off, it only made clothes that I couldn't afford before, a lower price that I still can't afford.
     After dinner at a small restaurant, we went to an American bar to watch the Packers game for the second time since being here. The bar is ironically named the WOS bar, which stands for Wide Open Spaces, but the actual area is probably smaller than most pantries in the U.S. We had to leave a few minutes before the game was over thank god in order to catch the metro before it closed down for the night, but found out that the Packers won from the five billion statuses on FB. Although I'm not a Packers fan by anymeans, I was happy that they won so that my roommates wouldn't start a riot were content.
