I often use a little of my massive accumulation of euro coins to buy "un petit café" in the morning at the dining halls. (Or in the afternoons on Tuesdays, right before a 4-hour block of lectures.) In France, when they say "petit," they are serious. The coffees here are so small! I think it's more espresso, so it's not like it's a lot less caffeine, and it's definitely way better than the coffee at UCSD dining halls. But it still feels weird to pay for something that would be a sample size in the U.S. If you get a "grand café" or a cappuccino, it's bigger, but still only like 8 oz. So the "grand" here is smaller than the smallest size at Starbucks! These French and their amazing portion control abilities! |

Also, I could see my breath this morning!! I have a feeling I'm going to be missing San Diego weather soon...
À bientôt!
