Ok, it's been forever, but I thought I'd start blogging again to document our trip to Paris, atleast partially. OUI! We arrived in Paris yesterday at noon and made ourselves stay up to get in the right time zone... we walked around the hood in the 10th Arrondissement, around the Canal Saint Martin...after a couple glasses of wine at Chez Prune we ended up checking out the Christmas windows at Gallerias Lafayette and Printemps department stores...amazing windows indeed! It was a chilly 35F degrees but we were all bundled up and prepared.
After fighting the crowds in the shopping district we decided to head off to the Champ de L'Essey and just get a little hint of all that Paris has to offer (and only in just the first couple hours of arriving)...on our way to the center, we walked right passed one of the places on Noel's bucket list: Laudaree for their world famous macarrones. Then off to the turn around between the Lourve/Tuileries and the Champ de L'Essey in which we found a huge ice white ferris wheel. Then up the Champs which was lined with beautiful Christmas lit trees all the way to the Arch de Triomphe. The street had a Christmas world market which was so fun...especially having the German Glugwein or Vin Chaud (hot mulled brandy wine) in the freezing weather. Yummy! The layer on some more pasteries...yummy. Then we went home plotted out the next day and passed out at 9:30pm...after 36 hours of virtually no sleep.
God I missed Paris and can't believed I waited 10 years to come back. I am not waiting another 10 years, that's for sure. VIVA LA FRANCE!
