Paris - Wednesday, April 3

Caught up with the blog at last.  I must stop being so verbose.

The day started with a visit to the local bakery for bread followed by breakfast.  We found the coffee maker so we can have our regular breakfast again.  It is terribly hard to resist eating the bread here since it is so good.  And their eggs seem to have more flavor than ours.  It is nice to eat in a country where people care about and appreciate good food.

Today we made our lunch at the apartment.  Roasted vegetables-cauliflower, carrots and potatoes- and th cauliflower was the best we've ever eaten.  Both of us remarked on how sweet it was.  Do they grow it differently, is it fresher or is it a different variety?   Don't know but the veggies were all delicious.  Sautéed some fish fillets in olive oil.  I don't know what kind it was but it was very good even if I did manage to have it break up into little pieces.

After lunch Harley listened to music and I took a walk back to the neighborhood where we stayed two years ago.  Did more grocery shopping and then returned to a tea and coffee shop where we got to know the owner on our last visit.  In addition to getting some Japanese roasted green tea for Harley and some delicious preserves, I found out that they still have a concede just inside the shop every Sunday from 11:00AM  to 1:00 PM.  We plan to go back this Sunday.
