The next day, the banana
was still there. We walked beyond this woman and her kids
with McDonald's logos on the back of their hats to views of
Eiffel Tower
bridge across the Seine
Les Invalides
where we took a picture of Suzanne with the cannon
and David with the guard.
After a look at Napoleon's tomb
we went to the Arpege restaurant where they were cleaning the sidewalk
and he was getting ready to mop it.
The Rodin museum across the street was closed
so Suzanne went shopping for shoes.
After the obligatory phone booth picture
we were ready for the meal. We had this caviar
and then noticed the decoration of (inedible) African
cucumbers
on our table. This
was an egg shell filled with egg, cream and maple syrup. The bread
was really quite good. This
is the most expensive bottle of wine I've ever bought.
The soup
was gazpacho with pepper ice cream. Then came the couscous.
Then, the tomatoes filled with vegetables
I had ravioli filled with dates and tomatoes
and Suzanne had mussel soup
Then I had an artichoke
and Suzanne has lobster
After, cantaloupe, mozzarella and great tasting green peppercorns
we had a sweet
and then a tomato with 16 tastes (you have to ask Suzanne what they were)
with licorice ice cream. The strawberries
were in Hibiscus sauce and then they brought another plate
of sweets.
(I think this was a mistake. I think different sweets were supposed to come. ) I took a picture of the owner's mother
and the sugar
while we drank our coffee.
This was the head waiter
who gave us his card
and the bill
We went back to the shoe store where
where he
fitted
Suzanne's shoes
Next, we headed to the Eiffel Tower
and took many views
as David talked to Augustus himself
Back near the hotel, we found Croque Monsieur
and then had our rest.
We hardly needed dinner after that lunch, so we walked through the Luxemborg Gardens where the facility
was closed. We sat
and stared at the Rodins
in front of the Palace.
and recorded this statue
before the whistle blew telling us it was time
to leave.
At the restaurant, they had this self cleaning toilet
and I took the obligatory phone booth picture
before we were seated at Balzar
where the bread
made Suzanne happy.
I liked my salad
Suzanne liked her smoked salmon
and her red wine
and my white wine
were fine. Then came the salad
which we enjoyed and the cheese.
We left as members in good standing
of the clean plate club. We paid our bill
and on the way home, we took this picture for Jane's
Armani collection.
