Breakfast is always my favorite meal, but it is even better in Paris.
Saturday. Saturday already! I had my usual breakfast with ½ banana and some (very expensive) cherries that I bought. No croissant. I shouldn’t eat one every day since I am not subject to the French paradox of eating mega calories and not gain weight. Not anymore, anyway. Those were the days!
I got my things ready to go to the hotel. Then I walked a lot and took some pictures. I found a supermarket at which to buy some food (down the street from the theatre near Pigalle Metro), took some pictures, and found that Monoprix is a lot like Target, only classier: They sell EVERYTHING, including some grab-n-go food, like lentils in a delicious sauce. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. I want to eat well while I am here, but cheaply sometimes, too. I will likely have lentils tonight. I had Bruschetta for lunch at a Bistro just on the other side of the street from the Gold Hotel, followed by a cappuccino at a café.
A statue of Charles de Gaulle.
Later: Now I am sitting on my huge bed at Gold Hotel (with a French nature program on), and am reading my guidebook to see if there is anything additional I want to do.
Salut.
