A nice cafe lunch, followed by a walk around the neighbourhood, drooling at all the patisseries, took us up to Sacre Coeur where we went inside and walked around, looking at all the saints, and the beautiful fresco on the ceiling.
A cool statue we found.
By that time Erik and Karina were both ready for a '20 minute' nap, and two hours later we set off again.
This time we ended up on Blvd Haussman, with plans to show Karina the awesome window displays. Apparently all of Paris had the same idea, and it was an absolute zoo!
We did manage to take some pictures of the fantastic light displays, and we were able to catch a glimpse of our favorite display, a scene with frogs playing in the bathroom. Very cute.
After a quick 'restoratif' we headed off to dinner, another recommendation from the trusty LP. It was definetly in the budget category (bottle of house wine, 4euros), and the food was decent, but judging from the popularity, we felt like we were missing something. I mean the huge line couldn't have just been for the cheap food...
Karina has escargot as her entree. They were delicous!
Today Karina and I did some shopping, and Karina enjoyed her first pain au chocolat, and crepe au nutella. Very delicious! We are planning on making dinner tonight, so will head off shortly for the grocery store (I know, so un-French, but it's Monday and the market is closed :( ).
We've got more mail!
I thought I'd share this picture of our 'mailbox'.
Thanks Grandma and Tracy and Ed for your cards. We will be thinking of you over the holidays.
