On Saturday there was a Valentine’s Ball for the Paris LDS Institute. I went with Melanie and Becky, as Becky had a date and wanted Melanie to go, but Melanie didn’t want to go by herself. I heard that there would be free food, so I volunteered to be her “cavalier.” It is French tradition to begin dances and balls with a waltz. So my actual cavalier, as they found it necessary for me to have one, was named Christophe. Christophe didn’t know how to waltz, but he was a nice guy. The rest of the night we enjoyed dancing to the Macarena, YMCA, and to random French reggae tunes. Plus there was chocolate cake!
