Où se trouvent les toilettes

August 5, Paris

There is a moment every morning when I go into the bathroom and stand there gormlessly for several seconds looking for the toilet.  We do have a toilet in our apartment, but it is not in the bathroom.

Tuesday, June 19 Brisbane to Wellington

We got in a cab in Brisbane and asked to go to the train station.

DRIVER: Where are you going by train
ME: To the airport
DRIVER: Taxi is cheaper.
ME: Hm.
DRIVER: I will drive you to the airport
ME: Thank you, just to the train station, please.
DRIVER: Train tickets are twenty dollars.  I will take you to the airport for forty dollars.
ME: Just the train station
DRIVER: Why should you pay more?
FISHL: She gets really sick in cars.
ME: No need to get into graphic detail.
FISHL: Yeah, I think maybe there is.
DRIVER: If it were just one person the train would be cheaper.  I am just telling you.  I have to tell you.
FISHL: SHE'S GOING TO PUKE ALL OVER YOUR CAR, BRO.
DRIVER: Here's the train station.

PS. Train tickets were less than twenty dollars
