tomorrow !

il n'y a qu'un jour qui reste
{only one day left}

1...
the average price of a baguette from the boulangerie is 1 euro
the baguette, like the price of a gallon of milk, is a good way to watch prices increase

{rounded}
1970 = 0.60 francs
1980 = 1.70 francs
1990 = 3.10 francs
1997 = 4 francs
FRANCE CHANGES TO THE EURO
2008 = 0.80 euro cents
2011 = 0.90 euro cents
2013 = 0.90-1.00 euros


translating to dollars, that means that from 1970 to today
the price jumped from 0.10 euro cents ($0.13) to 1 euro ($1.31)


 but there's nothing like a fresh baguette - yum !


fun little FYI
chopsticks are also called baguettes in French


heading to church for the morning
then home to pack !!!

pray for our journey
we are very excited

Love
 Linz 

ps. Joyeux Anniversaire to my beautiful mother today.
AND
Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
