Faire du Shopping

Yesterday was a cooler day in the 80s with a beautiful but strong wind. On weekends the town center of Avignon is closed off to cars and is open only to pedestrians for shopping. It is very convenient. We parked next to the wall that surrounds Avignon which I found cool just because it made me feel like I was in medieval times- except with cars and electricity...

I ended up buying a really pretty teal dress, but sadly I bought it from H&M which we have in the U.S. haha, but I love it anyways. I tried this italian ice cream when we were town. I had the milk and dark chocolate flavors. It was so thick it was almost like cold fudge! Very yummy, but even the small size was too much since it was soo rich.

As I was shopping, I tried to speak French to the vendors, but found that they kept responding in English. It was nice sometimes, but also frustrating since I'm here to learn the language. I must have a super bad accent. There was one time when I said, "Quatres chose s'il vous plaît" to the woman from the dressing room and she counted out my clothes in English. Just from that small phrase apparently it was evident. Gah! Well I suppose I'm here to improve, so it can only get better.
