OFII

Monday, September 6, 2010 Day 68


We visited the OFII, which is France’s immigration office. We just wanted to get some information, but we achieved very little. There was no one available who spoke English, although we were invited to sit down and wait. After about 15 minutes, we gave up and left. Roger spent a good deal of time on the internet this afternoon looking for information about the procedure, and he was able to find some stuff, but the OFII website is woefully inadequate. We also went to the Tourist Office to try to get some tickets, but the lines were too long so we put it off for another day. Two strikes!

At the market today we bought some zucchini, onions, eggplant and bell pepper with an eye toward making creole squash. We had never tried it with eggplant, and it turned out quite well. It seemed that the eggplant absorbed a lot of the salt in the recipe, but overall it was very delicious.
