Ben came over to our apartment early and we started the day with some amazing croissants from a bakery near our apartment, Eric Kayser. We then all headed over to one of the oldest continuously running markets in Paris, a market that runs along Moufftard st (sp?). We got a small stack of choux for snacking, and a roasted chicken and pasta for dinner that night.



While in the market area we stopped at a caffe to get a few coffees, with both Ben and Adrien getting espressos and a cappuccino for me. I was shocked at the price of my cappuccino when we got the bill.

After the market we went to a southern part of town, the 15th, to see a building dedicated to artist studios Adrien had learned about in school. The surrounding area was very quite and very residential.

We then headed far north to one of the most crowded tourist filled areas of Paris we have been to- Montmartre. It might have been beautiful if not for the tens of thousands of tourists.


We came back to our apartment where we heated up our market bought rotisserie chicken and cooked the fresh pasta and haricot verts. We had some delicious white wine with the meal. For desert Ben had brought over some cheese and fruit and chocolate, which we had half a bottle of red wine with.

After our wonderful meal we picked up another bottle of white wine from the grocery near the apartment and took it to the Seine and drank it out of some old glass pots left over from our yogurt.


We then met up with a friend of Bens and went out to a Scottish bar and then a bar in a bookstore. I was particularly fond of the bar in the book store.

We got home late, and a bit drunk, but all in all it was a fun evening.
