Monopoly

For my birthday this year, my ever-so-thoughtful sister gave me a gift certificate to Amazon.fr - the French version of Amazon.com. This gift was perfect. I waited a few weeks (ok, over a month) before I used the certificate because I wanted to see what we would end up needing/wanting the most here in Paris. I considered several options: a milk foamer/steamer, a new toy for Panda, or perhaps some new jewelry? In the end, I chose something that I think will be useful in the coming months (when we have visitors) as well as when we return to Somerville (and miss Paris). Yesterday, Louis and I christened the brand-new Monopoly game that was purchased from Amazon.fr! (While it is not exactly a "Paris" version of Monopoly, all the properties are named after streets in Paris. Look carefully and you'll see the Boulevard de Belleville card!)

THANKS, EDEN!
