I meant to wake up earlier, I really did. I laid around the house, hoping to have the energy, will power, and good weather to make it into Paris today. Since I have less than a month, I really find it much easier to be productive. Everything I pass up doing, may be my last chance. 2 of the girls called me and invited me to join them for a movie, and I even had the added bonus of a free ride, hard to pass up. We made it into Paris to see "The Hangover 2" and whatever else struck our fancy. We saw the early afternoon show, so we had plenty of time when it was over to grab a bite to eat. I was all sat for a kebab or Indian food, but next to the bar we were meeting some friends, was a Subway. I haven't eaten at Subway since I've been here, and wasn't too excited about it, but I knew it was within budget, so I said what the heck. Then BOOM, in the middle of the menu, Sauce Ranch. I haven't had ranch dressing since arriving in Paris. Some of you may not understand the enormity of that statement. Others simply won't believe me. I love ranch dressing,and put it on almost everything, except surprisingly, my usual Subway sandwiches. I bucked tradition and enjoyed my jalapeno, ranch concoction. I'm not going to deny it, it was tasty.
After the ranch, we headed next door to The Thistle. It is a Scottish bar with a weekly pub quiz on Sunday nights. There are a lot of regulars who take it very seriously, and I was starting to doubt my abilities. One of the girls had a buddy from home visiting, so he and his friends joined us halfway through. I came though on a couple of random, not sure how I know this stuff, and also missed some I should have known. The guys pulled their own weight as well and helped us with a few well needed points. All in all, we ended up in the very acceptable 2nd place position. I was very proud and am debating whether or not to come back, or leave a champion. And those of you who say 2nd isn't a champion, I say, technically you're right, but it still felt good anyway.
Also, I think there were about 10 teams, in case anyone thought it was 2nd out of 3 or something.
