Exploring Paris - Parlez Vouz Anglais?
No visitor to Paris must miss a trip to the bakeries.
After work, you could find the French buying metre-long baguettes and tucking them under their arms as they head home. Being a bit of a foodie, I sampled everything from baguettes, cheeses, a Diplomat (actually a fancy name for a raisin cherry cake soaked in rum - YUM!) to a Vendome (chocolate fudge cake over layers of biscuit).
Just my luck to be having my long-awaited omelette at a French restaurant opposite my hotel. The waiter could speak no English, and me, no French. Pointing at the menu and asking for a omelette mixed (with fromage and jamon), what came was a fluffy 3 egg omelette that was quite good. Thanks to Karolyn and her recommnendations, the food was good and the waiter, a bit over attentive and friendly. Hai.
Went back to shower and pack and looked through my postcards that I bought. Bought a few jars of mustard (one with cognac) and hoped Ben and Meng do eat such stuff.
