Thanks for the translation, fren! The video wasn't the best, and I couldn't tell what he was saying, but I could piece it together from what he was showing.

I hope France gets this election corrected. I love France. I got to go to Paris twice and there was so much to see and do there. I brushed up on my French before we went over and I got to try it out on the natives. Apparently it wasn't too bad, as I always got what I asked for. Kek! I'm not so good, though, at picking up the accent. Everyone tends to speak too quickly for me.

One day I visited L’Église Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, near the Pantheon. Since it was a little ways off from the normal tourist area, the woman working in the gift shop didn't speak English. So, this was my first real test. I told her that I only spoke a little French and not very well. I wanted a book about the church, but I couldn't find one in English, so I asked her if she had one. She said no, but she had one in French that had a lot of photos. She told me she only had a sheet in English for 1 euro that told about the features in the church. I looked at the book and I could understand enough of it, so I told her I would buy the sheet and the book. After I paid her, she motioned me over to a rack of postcards. She pulled out two postcards that had the church's two patron saints on them. She briefly explained who they were, then she tucked them inside my book and didn't charge me for them. She then told me that I spoke very good French. I knew she was lying, but it really made my day. 😊 I've never forgotten her kindness.
