à la plage!

Just a quick note on something culture related:

French vacations are in full force right now. Half of the office is en vacances. Half of the little boulangeries, patisseries, charcuteries, and little restaurants are closed. The metro is stuffed full of tourists.

Summer vacations are taken so much more seriously here than in the US I feel. It's like the entire country goes on vacation right at the end of July/beginning of August. And they stay on vacation for a couple weeks at least.

I like it.
