Valentine's day

I spent a lot of time wandering around and window shopping in le Marais today. There are big sales on this week and I've been hoping to find a pair of boots (in Paris right now, everyone is wearing boots with low/no heels, perfect for me!) Some stores, but not many, had signs out for Saint Valentine. Some men were buying flowers, and there were more women than usual in the lingerie shop, but otherwise, it didn't seem like that big a deal here. I like to think that there's enough romance going on all year round, so there's really no need to make up for anything on Feb 14th.
