Day one in Paris off to a good, and busy start! Katie's in from Rome, and we have lots of sights to see, and hot chocolate to drink! We started off at the market down the hill, picked up a chocolate-almond croissant for the non-g-free among us, and got our picture taken in front of this great purple door.
Then headed off to Beurre & Oeuff, a store that sells old books and postcards and boxes and things in the 15th.
From there, we trekked over to the Eiffel Tower.
Where we tried to wrangle our hair into a few selfies. The wind won this battle.
Thank goodness for friendly italian tourists.
Off to the Orsay, for one of the best views of Paris!
The view alone probably justifies eating in the restaurant up here.
Five hours of walking later, it was time for hot chocolates. (It should be noted, on our way over we also stopped in Deyrolle, and the oldest church in Paris, Saint Germain des Prés) We headed over to Une Dimanche à Paris, for what must have been chocolate bars melted straight into our cups. It was all kinds of delicious.
Demonstrating proper hot chocolate-pouring technique, as learned at the Musée du Chocolat (elbows in!)
Day two, here we come!
