On my way home I passed nine wonderful things. Seven of them were crêperies, one a stall of silk scarves and the last a store selling Tintin treasures. 

I passed the first two crêperies with ease but towards #3 and #4 I began slowing down to look the place over as I passed. #4-#6 I stopped for a few seconds just to look at the price of the Nutella crêpe (most expensive: €3,80 least expensive: €2,30). At #7, Crêpe A GoGo, I crossed the street to read the entire menu of crêpes and galettes. 

Lesson

Crêpe • krep • a thin pancake made of flour, water, milk, eggs and SUGAR (for the sweet)

Galette • guh·let • a thin cake made with buckwheat, water, eggs and SALT (for the savory)

As I wove my way through the stares of sidewalk cafes, the somber students, the sleeping bums, and grinning professionals, I made a fantastic discovery: the Tintin store! Before I knew my letters, I avidly read the pictures of Hergé's comic books when Dad was unavailable to read aloud the word bubbles. The detailed images and clever conversations create historically faithful adventures. Before the States landed on the moon, Hergé created Destination Moon in 1953, a surprisingly accurate portrayal of a moon landing that would occur years later in 1969.
