Window Lick'n

Today I went window licking (same as window shopping) in downtown Poitiers.  This morning I realized that I was out of coffee filters for coffee, milk for cereal and bread for toast.  It was time to go get the weeks groceries. 

I took the bus up to the Notre Dame because I had promised Mom and Maggy that I wouldn’t walk everywhere until the next week.  I hurt going to the bus stop, so I couldn’t imagine walking all the way up that hill!  Besides, bus rides are my new favorite thing when I’m not able to get on a train.  The walk from the Notre to Monoprix is a short one.  On the way I popped into the chocolate shop Nims.  Its Easter week and they had an assortment of chocolate figures!  In France, and maybe all of Europe, Easter chocolates are not limited to bunnies with giant ears. 

 
 
 

 

After I got done window licking all that chocolate I stopped by the mini statues place.  I would love to get this little cat tea set or one of the cat statues!  Aren’t they the cutest?

Then there were a few shops that had the spring collections out.  I can’t wait for my knees to heal enough so I can start wearing dresses again.

 

I also stopped by to visit my favorite store.  They have these really kick’n orange pants for 20% off.  I really want them but I have to get the ok from back home.   Sometimes my choices in colorful cloths don’t mesh well with the other colorful things I believe should go with it.  Maybe a picture will convince them!
