Woke up late after arriving in Paris at too late of a time to take the Metro. A taxi from Orly cost me 40 euros. Annso had the day off of work and I asked her if I could treat her to lunch at Laduree for Christmas. She leaves tomorrow morning to head to Britanni and I will be staying in her place while she is gone and until I leave for Ireland. We had a Prix Fixe meal – I had foie gras that had a blood orange sauce on the side as well as half a chocolate macaron and orange bread. The second course was a cronut filled with mushroom pate then they spooned a sauted chicken mushroom type of marsala over the top of it. I also had The Cherie – everything was amazing. Together between the two of us our bill was 110 euros.. and oh so worth it. The rest of the evening was quite chill. TV, catching up on emails and facebook.
Now its Christmas eve in Paris. I spent the morning with a bubble bath and an espresso. I managed to go grocery shopping as well and picked up a few gifts for the people I will be seeing tonight and tomorrow. The weather is quite stormy and miserable, so my original plan to go to La Defense was abandoned. I’m all packed now for an evening at Bretsy’s. I will attempt to take the Metro with all of my goodies.
I received an email last night from Juan with the cheesiest most hilarious and sweet gesture. It makes me giggle and when I showed it to Annso she said “you find the weirdest guys, Sarah Dawson.”
I guess I do and.. well, I like weird. ;)
