Lee and I are heading up to Perpignan, France today to meet up with two Georgtown friends, Andrew and Joe. We´ve had an interesting relationship with Perpignan thus far. The first time we drove to Barcelona from Italy, Lee saw the sign for Perpignan and starting yelling "Oh, Oh the Perpignan Man! We have to stop!" Apparently some of the oldest human remains in Europe (not even the world) were found in a cave near Perpignan. That they are actually in an entirely separate town called Tautavel was neither here or there. A little road-weary but still game for adventure (ask me a few hours later), I pulled into town. Apparently the only thing going on in Perpignan that day was a huge anti-aging convention, which we spent a fair amount of time at. Free samples! I think some of the funky eye cream turned my skin a little orange. That and the leftover samples still in our car are all we have to show from our trip to Perpignan.

Our goal for this trip is pretty simple. Aside from picking up the guys, we´re in search of good pastry. Je cherche une boulangerie. Lee´s been practicing.
