La Pomme de Terre en folie!

Ok: pictures from last week. First, here's a pretty cool bookstore in the Latin Quarter. In all honesty, I sort of didn't like it because all the books were in English, and everyone in the place was speaking in English, and I've developed this slight distaste for English. The really cool thing is that the second floor is loaded with books that you can't buy, but you're encouraged to read them at your leisure. I even saw a guy who had been in the middle of reading a book asleep in a bed up there.



Here's a picture of me in my chef's hat at the special cooking/tasting class.


I celebrated the New Year of the Potato with my New England friends, so I had to take a picture of this when I saw it at the entrance to one of the agriculture halls.
Quick translation:

Hall 7/1
Stand U3

Potato craziness!

That's awesome. Good to see that someone besides us appreciates the contribution of the potato to the War on Hunger!
