The next day, the banana
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090145
was still there. We walked beyond this woman and her kids
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090146
with McDonald's logos on the back of their hats to views of
Eiffel Tower
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090147
bridge across the Seine
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090148
Les Invalides
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090149
where we took a picture of Suzanne with the cannon
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090150
and David with the guard.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090151
After a look at Napoleon's tomb
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090152
we went to the Arpege restaurant where they were cleaning the sidewalk
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090153
and he was getting ready to mop it.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090154
The Rodin museum across the street was closed
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090155
so Suzanne went shopping for shoes.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090156
After the obligatory phone booth picture
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090157
we were ready for the meal. We had this caviar
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090158
and then noticed the decoration of (inedible) African
cucumbers
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090159
on our table. This
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090160
was an egg shell filled with egg, cream and maple syrup. The bread
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090161
was really quite good. This
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090162
is the most expensive bottle of wine I've ever bought.
The soup
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090163
was gazpacho with pepper ice cream. Then came the couscous.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090164
Then, the tomatoes filled with vegetables
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090165
I had ravioli filled with dates and tomatoes
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090166
and Suzanne had mussel soup
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090167
Then I had an artichoke
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090168
and Suzanne has lobster
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090169
After, cantaloupe, mozzarella and great tasting green peppercorns
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090170
we had a sweet
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090171
and then a tomato with 16 tastes (you have to ask Suzanne what they were)
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090172
with licorice ice cream. The strawberries
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090173
were in Hibiscus sauce and then they brought another plate
of sweets.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090174
(I think this was a mistake. I think different sweets were supposed to come. ) I took a picture of the owner's mother
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090175
and the sugar
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090176
while we drank our coffee.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090177
This was the head waiter
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090178
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090179
who gave us his card
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090180
and the bill
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090181
We went back to the shoe store where
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090182
where he
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090185
fitted
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090184
Suzanne's shoes
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090183
Next, we headed to the Eiffel Tower
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090186
and took many views
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090187
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090188
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090189
as David talked to Augustus himself
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090190
Back near the hotel, we found Croque Monsieur
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090191
and then had our rest.
We hardly needed dinner after that lunch, so we walked through the Luxemborg Gardens where the facility
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090192
was closed. We sat
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090193
and stared at the Rodins
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090194
in front of the Palace.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090195
and recorded this statue
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090196
before the whistle blew telling us it was time
to leave.
At the restaurant, they had this self cleaning toilet
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090197
and I took the obligatory phone booth picture
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090198
before we were seated at Balzar
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090199
where the bread
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090200
made Suzanne happy.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090201
I liked my salad
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090202
Suzanne liked her smoked salmon
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090203
and her red wine
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090204
and my white wine
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090205
were fine. Then came the salad
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090206
which we enjoyed and the cheese.
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090207
We left as members in good standing
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090208
of the clean plate club. We paid our bill
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7100211
and on the way home, we took this picture for Jane's
../../../Sabbat/07.07-11.01Paris//P7090209
Armani collection.
