Yesterday, I met up with Rebbeca, Shaina, and Ariel at Saint-Ouen's flee market and did the Saint-Ouen's Labyrinth: Navigating the World's Largest Flee Market by Marc Olivier. I enjoyed this walk a ton, actually. I was expecting it to be crowded and full of creepy men trying to sell me crap. It was a pleasant surprise for that to not be the case. It was full of cranky store owners who didn't want to be bothered with our presence... which i will never understand. what a bunch of cranks. But they were selling beautiful antiques everywhere. I wanted to buy myself a really nice antique ring but they were all so expensive. Us girls also had a fun time looking at all the vintage dresses. The whole time i was there, i just knew that mom would love all the china and furniture that was there. It's really too bad that Saint-Ouen is so far away from town. It was also too bad that we couldn't really take pictures. It was just beyond neat. I also love how we can kind of get to know the authors through these walks. Sometimes Olivier comes off as a tad pretentious, Erickson doesn't like fancy titles, and Cropper is kind of a goof. I'm almost sad that i'm done with all the guided walks, but also really relieved to get those out of the way so i can work on the harder assignments i have in my other classes.
