A lot of Eiffel Tower

My all time favorite picture

 

 

We didn't have much of an agenda today other than start the morning with breakfast crepes in hand and taking pics with the ET, a process which lasted about 3 hours. The rest of the day we spent wandering the city with stops at the Place de la Concord (where thousands were beheaded during the French Revolution, including Marie Antoinette), the Opera house, Notre Dame, and St. Chapelle. Lunch was spent eating baguette sandwiches while wandering down the Champs-élysées . And of course there was a mid afternoon crepe and coffee stop. So if you are keeping count, that is two crepes each today.

Here are some highlights from the hundreds of ET pics we took. Be prepared to admire our mad camera skills.

We spent most of the afternoon/ evening in my fav neighborhood, St. Germain.

St. Germain cathedral. We went inside just as mass was starting, I thought it'd be cool to stay for mass, but then we remembered we wouldn't be able to understand, and we weren't catholic.

 

Dinner was at La Jacobine. Again everything was FFT. Kyle says I'm handing out FFT's left and right, but everything really is!

French onion soup.

My Coq Au Vin (chicken braised in wine)

Kyle's salmon with spinach and cream

 

Paris Brest- a puff pastry with hazelnut cream. I've had this at Balsan in Chicago, and Balsan's was a pretty good replica, but this was better!

Chocolate, banana and pear crumble

The cute little street our restaurant was on
