Je parle français meilleur

My French is definitely improving. When I arrived in Roscof I had to get my Eurail pass validated, ask for a reservation for the train, find out that it was full and get a reservation for the next train all in French. I ordered food in Roscof at a boulangerie and in Morlaix at a café with ease. My big failure of the day was at the Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris when I went to get ice cream from a Ben and Jerry's stand. I went to order and realized I had no idea what the word for cone was. They just spoke English to me because I probably looked stupid just standing there thinking. Not bad for my first day returning to French soil.
