Le Poissons...Le Poissons...he-he-he....hah-hah-hah

We went to Paris last weekend and it was fantastic! We ate lots of banana and nutella crepes, drank the worlds' best hot chocolate, and..o yeah, ate pig intestines! Mmmmmm... We walked along the same streets as Monet and Salvador Dali in Montmartre, bought tons of paintings, and went to 8 museums! There was so much to see, so we'll have to go back if we get the chance. Sadly we saw no mimes, and only one man wearing a beret...talk about a misconception!

Les poissons
Les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop
And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais oui
Ca c'est toujours delish
Les poissons
Les poissons
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes
Don't you?

Slovakia!

Sunday, I went to Bratislava, Slovakia with a couple of friends. We had fun walking around the old town, visiting an absurdly creepy art gallery, and window shopping. We had some amazing food, called Pirohy,  which looks like ravioli, but is filled with potato.
