Success

Made it through my first official strike in Paris. Actually to be honest, since I only take one Metro line direct to and from work, I barely noticed a difference. So score 1 for Heather 0 for the Strikers. Let's hope that I stay this lucky during the course of my stay in Paris. On another note, I was eating dinner this evening (with a delish piece of soft, moist and tasty fresh bread) when all the sudden a trumpet player starts down the street playing "It's a Wonderful World". Live, free and amazing music while I enjoy my dinner. Great way to end my not-affected strike day : )  AND I found out about this delightful like thing called "RTT". Every month you are required by law to take an "RTT" day - not a vacation day, not an unpaid day, a beautiful little "RTT" day.  Seeing as there are only 4 more work days in this month I found out at just the right time. All in all I would have to say today was a SUCCESS!!
