I made it! I landed at CDG airport in Paris around 12:30pm local time today and by 3pm I was sitting in my temporary home for the next two weeks - a cute 1 bedroom apartment in the Marais near Hotel de Ville.
After a bit of relaxation - but no nap per my jet lag strategy - I ventured out after planning to hit up 3 must eat places of the more casual style.
L'As du Fallafel. typical of my recent eating habits - I went straight for the street food.
I then meandered down to the Seine and crossed over on to Ile St-Louis to find the famed Berthillon ice cream. I had one scoop of the extra dark cacao and one scoop of almond on a cone - divine!
Lastly, I crossed the Seine again on to the left bank to hunt down a baguette from Eric Kayser's boulangerie. Unable to just buy one lonely baguette, I also bought some of their rich caneles. While on the left bank, I also stopped in this cute little organic store (known here as a bio store) and picked up some pears and yogurt for the morning.
bonsoir!
