The Brooklyn Phase

12.8.08

We woke up earlier than usual today to make it to the market bright and early for some breakfast treats. We got the biggest, most beautiful, most delicious brioche I had ever encountered.



We tried going to the Muse d’Orsay but the line was hundreds of people long so we went to the Pantheon instead. I accidentally joined up with a tour group when I attempted to go to the upstairs areas, but was glad I had because as it turns out the tour group got to climb the almost all the way to the top, in the area with the large round columns, and get a 360-degree view of Paris. It was an amazing view.














By afternoon we were tired, so we lounged around at a café near the pantheon. Since I was so shocked at the prices of the cappuccinos here I have switched to ordering noisette, a shot of espresso with just a bit of cream.



To celebrate Ben’s birthday and our last night in town we went out to an Authentic French restaurant. Ben had dunk, Adrien a rabbit stew, and I had a strange veggie plate consisting of overcooked spinach, leeks, and haricot verts, with about 6 pieces of tube pasta. Although the French have amazing pastries, and crepes, and cheese; they are not so good at the vegetarian cuisine.







For desert we came back to Ben’s for amazing pastries we had gotten earlier in the day paired with some of the best champagne I’ve had.
