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

• 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)
