First Day in Paris September 24, 2023

 Sept 24

Stairwell at 12 Rue de la Huchette

    This is our first full day in Paris. Our crowded street last night was empty this morning and we walked to the end of the road for a delicious croissant and a cappucino. Heavenly.

Mmmmm. Croissants!

     We walked almost 4 miles wandering from the Left Bank where we are living to the Ile de la Cite. We walked by the Quai aux Fleurs where we stayed with Michael and Nancy before.

Then, we cut across to the Marais and walked up the Rue de Vieille du Temple where Barbara was happy to find the same kind of socks that she bought on the last trip. From there, we continued to reminisce as we found the

Last time we were here, we were in this building on Ile de La Cite

restaurant Glou on the same street. Last time, we ate there with Claudia. Mark had lamb chops with fennel & sweet potato. Barbara had a white fish in a sesame sauce with lots of vegetables. They were excellent meals.

      From there, we sauntered back, sat on the bank of the Ile St. Louis, got some cheese for dinner later.

     We facetimed with Alice and the crew in Bridgewater around 5 and then went for another walk. Almost 5 miles of walking today!
