Paris, Thursday, 9 October 2008

Lexington-Fayette After a great sleep, we had coffee and Mike finally had his almond croissant.  Of course, he had to shower, get dressed and run down to the bakery on the corner first.  We went to the grocery around the corner and stocked up with necessities.  But, we did not have access to a little grocery cart to haul everything back so we came back to the apartment laden like beasts of burden.  I called Hugo for a reservation for us tomorrow, so we could introduce Karen to La Cordonnerie.  We decided to walk to the Grand Epicurean near Le Bon Marche since it was a beautiful sunny day.  We picked up a few items, shared a sandwich in the park, and hopped the metro back to the apartment.  Since we were by the Monoprix, we slipped in for some cassis and Aligote to make kirs tomorrow night for Karen.  While we were there, we priced the grocery/shopping carts.  In the grocery part of the store, it was almost 50 euros – too pricey for us to leave behind in Paris at someone else’s apartment.  However, downstairs in the home goods, we found one for 19 euros!  We loaded our purchases in it, and headed back to the apartment, with a stop on the way for a baguette at the bakery.
