Although I think it might even work to turn something knee length into a mini.<br /><br />I was a pretty serious coffee drinker too, until quite recently. Since traveling, I started feeling pretty guilty about my habit - I have no skill making my own hot drinks, so I was spending a fair amount of money for coffee every day. I'd also inevitably wind up cranky and headachey if I didn't have one, which didn't seem like the best way to treat my (non-coffee-drinking) traveling partner! I switched to tea while we were in Morocco and the UK, then gradually worked my way down to only having something caffeinated once or twice a week. I still <b>love</b> coffee, and want to be able to enjoy one once in a while, but I hated that my body actually <i>needed</i> it to feel normal!emilyhttp://the-other-emily.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063515522923730081.post-40615268592914277452011-04-29T04:27:12.645-04:002011-04-29T04:27:12.645-04:00Ha!

Any run-ins with waiters or taxi drivers yet? Your expression in the last series cracks me up--that is exactly how I felt most of the time...a bit peeved, shall we say? Paris can be daunting.
