Eating lunch in the Louvre
Favorite things in the city of lights…
- Sugared lemon crepes
- Whipped cream crepes
- Buttered crepes
- People assuming that I could only speak English (no, really, I liked this)
- A man puking on the sidewalk without breaking stride while climbing up a huge hill in an, umm, interesting area
- Cezanne
- Monet
- Degas
- The scam where people pretend to find a “gold” ring on the sidewalk in front of you and then try to give it to you (apparently, Tony looks like their kinda guy)
- Tony’s umbrella exploding in front of the Arc de Triomphe (as in *literally* every piece of his umbrella separated and jumped in front of the insane traffic roundabout — I don’t think it could handle the shock either)
- Shoes
- Marais neighborhood
- Macaroons
Eiffel Tower at night
Least favorite things…
- Fixed menus (onion soup, farm chicken, tarte)
- Tourist traps
- Lines (actually, we skipped them all, but still…)
- Traveling via plane (yes, we were advised to take the train….)
- Latin Quarter restaurants (sorry!!)
- The price of macaroons (kid you not…. 3 euros for each little morsel)
