On fait le queue here

Thanks to temazopam we slept very well on the flight.  Usually when we travel far, we get off the plane into a place where we can't read the signs, that's way too hot, among a loud chaotic throng of people we can't understand forming a crush about immigration .  Here they demurely fait le queue (line up) and all goes very smoothly.  We have a wonderful lunch at Charles de Gaul train station of chèvre quiche and camenbert sandwich with amazing citron and Normandy tartes that we saved to eat on the train to Lyons (see photo), while seated on our purple plush seats.  We were delighted that we seem to be able to order food with our beginning college and Rosetta Stone unit 2 French.

Civilization has it's inconveniences though.  Whereas in parts of India one can pee almost anytime or anywhere, here it costs $0.75. So one learns to hold it.

Did you take these photos with that same gizmo?
Never say Fait le pipe. I'll explain why when you get home.
