Delurking and sad that I missed the entire day of it. I could have delurked in sooo many places!

Enjoy France and screw worrying about the croissant pounds. You’ll walk ‘em off. I did, plus another 10 pounds. I’m still hoping some skinny French woman found ‘em.

I’m not really delurking since it’s my first time here, but I had to tell you about the pain au chocolate. Maybe you already know about it, but someone told me before I went to France and I was eternally grateful. It’s a croissant that is stuffed with dark chocolate and it is far better than it even sounds. I recommend stopping into every chocolaterie that you see so that you can get a fair sampling. The best one I had was at some chocolaterie on the Champs Elysees. I think other people covered most of my other France suggestions, except a trip to Epernay to tour the champagne houses. We went to Moet & Chandon. We also took a day trip to Amboise to see some chateaux.

Also, I despise the phone as well. I often find myself chanting “voicemailvoicemailvoicemail” as the other person’s phone is ringing in hopes that I won’t actually have to speak to anyone. Apparently phone hatred and social awkwardness go hand in hand since I too am equally afflicted by both.

I’m a belated delurker! I wanted to add that Patisserie Millet has the best croissants I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a number, as my ass can attest to) and I believe it’s in the 7th arrondissement, but you might want to google that to double check. Have fun on your trip! I’m super jealous.

On a completely random note, there is another Versailles. Unfortunately, it doesn’t require a trip across an ocean and its located in the country in Ohio…and I highly doubt that person had this particular Versailles in mind. Hope you have a great trip though. Drink lots of wine.

Not exactly sure what to say here- but I guess I’m saying that I’m here.

De-lurking a day late – that’s a flaw, right?

And phones? The work of the devil. I avoid them at all cost.

I’m a lurker. I was in a session with you at BlogHer ’07, so that’s how I know about this place. I like your blog.
