“Pardon!”

Day 3 – Paris

Eiffel Tower – “check”

Royal Palace – “check”

Embarrassing moment #1 – “check”

Most embarrassing (and hilarious) moment thus far, here goes:

We are having espresso at an outdoor cafe and Sol is flipping through our French phrases book (which, I should mention, contains VERY important translations for common phrases such as “Stop thief!” and “Grab your wallet and go!”) .

Sol is practicing his favorite phrase and gets a little carried away . . . and exclaims “Pardon!” (in his best and coincidentally most exaggerated French accent). Right at that moment an older French man walking his dog passes by and bust out laughing in our direction.

At that moment I decide it’s best to put the book away and practice such phrases at home. –Starr*
