I'll have to make this post a bit shorter than usual, because the letters and punctuations on the keyboard here at our hotel are completely rearranged from what we're used to, which means I'm currently hunting and pecking. At this rate I could be here all day. ;)
Paris is an incredibly fascinating city, both with areas of over crowded hoards of tourists, along side areas of pure magic. Some of our highlights:
Crepes with Nutella! So simple, but what a deliciously perfect food.
Baguette sandwiches- again, they're incredibly simple, but so delicious. We also realized during our stay here, that we never use butter at home. Is it because it just doesn't taste the same? We've had some of the most amazing butter here!
Our favorite moments of our time in Paris have not been visiting famous monuments and tourist attractions (although they are amazing to see), but really just walking the streets, people watching, tasting the food, smelling the unbelievable cheese shops, and just experiencing the lifestyle in general. Our favorite dinner here was actually a selection of things we bought along Le Rue Mouffetard (a fabulous narrow street of shops & markets), and just ate in our hotel room! Today we'll be picking up a car, and starting our drive through France, heading south. I have to admit, Mass has been a great navigator, which is so fortunate, since I've been known to get lost in my own neighborhood. Let's hope I can adequately read a map. :) Au Revoir Paris!

Stop it right now! This sounds like the MOST amazing trip EVER! Love that you dined in your room and that you've found a new love for butter. Good luck on your journey south...maybe have a few drinks before you go. You've been known to be a better navigator when you're drunk ;)
