Special Correspondent April, currently reporting from Europe, bids adieu to enchanting Paris--but not without letting us in on her newfound secret for how Frenchwomen stay so effortlessly thin.

I've discovered the French woman's secret to being thin - a ham and cheese baguette per day and at least three packs of cigarettes.  Oh, and I couldn't bear to leave Paris without a pain au chocolat.  Perhaps I will not be able to maintain my new baguette and cigarette diet.





Thanks Special Correspondent April! Hmm, sounds kind of like my college diet, except substitute vodka for the cigarettes and T Bell 7-layer burritos for the ham and cheese sandwich. Hey--I'm American!  

As she heads to London, we are looking forward to Special Correspondent April's report on the English populace's affinity for Bangers 'n Mash and any sightings of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, who, as my dear English friend Sian puts it, "is sex on a stick." Blimey!

This morning Justin and I went to an outdoor cafe and ordered lattes.  The waiter brought us some croissants and orange juice in addition to our lattes, which we thought was so generous.  Of course, that was only until we received our bill.  Our lattes ended up costing us 30 Euros - it was awesome!  


Tomorrow, April and Justin head to London. We hope they get to meet Gordon Ramsey. Special Correspondent April has promised to send updates.
