Paris France, Tuesday, June 14, 2011

The Seine River in Paris.

This was a slow day for us.  I think I have given my sore throat to Edward.  He does not want to walk around too much.  There is a bus stop right out side the apartment entrance –  and I really mean literally.  We decide to take this bus as we are on the longest street in Paris and just see what is on this line.  Well, Bus 80 is the quickest and easiest way to navigate between the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre (Sacre Coeur Area).  It crosses the Champs de Elysees but just before that we go down a street, Avenue Montaigne, that has every expensive high fashion stores.  Everything you can imagine from Chanel to Versace.

That is so cool to have that bus so convenient.

We found another excellent deal for lunch at the Café DuPont Versailles just on the corner from us on Rue de Vaugirard and Boulevards des Marechaux (the tram stop is across the street).   We, again, got the Formula (Express Lunch).  This is a much nicer place so the meal was not served like fast food.  We ordered the quiche, a large slice of salmon and spinach quiche, drink of choice, dessert of choice.  Dessert, I picked a chocolate cream puff looking dessert.  It not only had cream but it was filled inside with a chocolate pudding/pie filling.  I could not eat all of it.  That is a first for me not to east all a dessert that I really like.  Since we were here so close to the apartment didn’t want to leave it and I couldn’t eat it all so I brought half of it back with me.  Edward got a fruit salad.  Well, again, that is what they called it.  It was a very large bowl (a think it was actually a serving bowl) with several strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes and banana, in a syrup.  The berries and grapes were all huge and fresh.  I really don’t know how these people are so thin.
