update on bday party we went to!

ben's mom had some great ?s about the party we went to in Paris, so i thought i'd share the response with everyone, just in case you're interested!

she had asked about the birthday song they sing in France, and in fact, it has the same tune as ours but they sing "Joyeuse Anniversaire" instead of Happy Birthday

and i can't believe i didn't mention the cake! there were two cakes, made at a local "patisserie," so they were more pastry-like then cake, thin layers of pastry instead of batter. one was super rich chocolate and the other black forrest cherry. they were both sooo good but way too rich, i had a small piece of both (as did everyone else) but i could not finish it, it was that rich. one thing, too, is they serve the coffee AFTER dessert here, which is fundamentally WRONG to me, so that made it harder to finish with no coffee or even a glass of milk!
