I broke my foot in Paris.
That line, which I've repeated ad naseum all week in response to the countless queries of "Wha hoppon?", would lead you to believe there's a really good story behind it. There isn't.

- I was so inspired by the American Women's Gymastics Team's success that I decided to cartwheel down the Champs de Mars
- I was running to catch a train in the métro and the door closed on my hoof
- I was taking one of my signature jumping-in-front-of-monument pictures

ReplyDeletebroke mine in January causing an enormous blood clot. All I was doing at the time was walking, stepped off the curb and bam down I went. We were near ski resorts so they assumed it was a skiing accident. Had to tell them it was just me walking!!!
