Wrapping up Paris

Sunday, August 29, 2010 Day 60


Ah, Sunday morning breakfast of fresh chocolate croissants, English breakfast tea, apricots and caramels! Does it get any better than this?

Our time in Paris is rapidly drawing to a close. Yesterday we completed the final item on our list of things to do before we leave the city. The refrigerator is almost empty. We bought our last carnet of metro/bus tickets. We have our tickets for the train ride to Montpellier. There is so much left undone, but that’s the way Paris is. There will always be more waiting for us to do when we return.


It was 63 degrees when we set out for the market this morning! Bought some Napoleon cheese at the market. The vendor threw in a tiny jar of black cherry jam and said to eat it with the cheese. We did. It is a strong cheese, but good. It is quite nice with the jam. We also bought a half a chicken for dinner this evening. We don’t want to cook much of anything between now and Wednesday morning, so we are buying ready-cooked foods. We bought sausage as well, and tomorrow we will cook our last meal in order to use up the remainder of the potatoes, onions, and capers. Tuesday night we will eat out and Wednesday morning we will board the train for Montpellier.

It rained much of today, and with the cool, we didn’t want to get out and do much, so we stayed indoors after the market and spent most of the day on our computers.
