seven euros

The Omnitrix is broken.  Well, I think the batteries may be dead.  I was able to find two batteries from another toy, which meant that I had to go out and buy one more.  It cost 7€!  I went ahead and bought it.  And you know what?  The stupid Omnitrix still doesn't work.

We were out for lunch in Fontainebleau a few weeks ago.  I ordered the steak.  After lunch, I was dying for some dental floss.  I went to la pharmacie next door to the restaurant and guess how much they wanted for a pack of dental floss?  7€  Um, "no, merci."


luckily I brought these to France from Costco!
What costs 7€ in France?
1 gallon of gas (converted from euros and litres to dollars and gallons)
15 baguettes
2 bottles of wine
a coke on the Champs Elysées
a bottle of sparkling wine from the Loire Valley
49 Eiffel Tower keychains
a box of Betty Crocker cake mix
the souvenir bottle of Chambord liqueur that I lost on our trip to the Loire :(


this was not taken on the Champs Elysées!
à bientôt!

Wow - you are one devoted mother to try to get the Omnitrix working again - alien technology is VERY complicated :) Sorry about the dental floss - c'est dommage!!!
