Le Bar Resto Sourdine

I'll start off by saying that I was both disappointed and excited in my post-cemetery adventure to the Deaf Restaurant today. I was excited to have found it! I was disappointed to find that it was closed and they "open whenever they want," according to the owner of the Indian Restaurant next door. "Sometimes 19h, sometimes later. Never know." It takes me almost an hour to walk to this place, and in this heat, I was un petit pissed that it was closed.

Uggghhh. I didn't know that they took a break between lunch and dinner, so I arrived right after it closed for lunch and 3 hours before it opened for dinner. "Do I walk an hour home and take a nap and shower, come back later? Or do I sit around here for 3 hours?" Oh, I dillydallied around the neighborhood for 3 hours.

Here is Le Resto Bar Sourdine, owned and operated by Deaf people where business is conducted entirely in LSF (Langue de signes Francais)




They weren't open when I got there, and I was in desperate need of somewhere to sit and hydrate, so I decided ice cream was une bonne idee




I finished up the ice cream date with myself and took a walk. I wanted to find a park in the neighborhood, and a park in the neighborhood I found! I sat there and had a lovely conversation with this woman (she doesn't speak any English, so I couldn't cheat my way out of a French conversation. I THANK HER)






I've traveled about half the city par pied in the past two days. These dogs are barking.


After the park, I went back to the restaurant, believing it would open around 7 pm. I sat outside until 8 and no one showed up. Hokay, time to walk back home. Better luck next time. I picked up a quarter of a watermelon on the way for dinner. C'etait tres bien.

Et demain, I will meet up with Elizabeth and Katie for a visit around Le Louvre et Les Jardins Tuilieries in the afternoon and a Deaf Social at Ze Baar in the evening.
