Four months

January has passed so quickly! We started out the year (or really, ended last year) with a late night walk around the city on New Year’s Eve.





J took a Friday off and we spent a great day having lunch out, exploring the Musée d’Orsay, and taking a leisurely walk back to the apartment along the left bank of the river.



We became members of the Musée du Louvre and have already started working our way through the museum's many rooms.


I took our visitor to Spain with me before sending him back to Illinois with a few souvenirs.


And we had some fantastic meals...

Pizza al taglio at 40/60

Steak frites and coq au vin at A la Biche au Bois

Gorgeous, fresh, modern small plates at Au Passage

Tiny peppers stuffed with goat cheese and tortilla on pan con tomate with pink cava at El Xampanyet

Sushi at Rice and Fish

Lattes while studying for French class at Coutume (this was just me, but I brought home coffee beans for J)


Continuing the hunt for Mexican food in Paris at Bodega Bay

And enjoying the occasional guilty pleasure cheeseburger at Café Charlot or Pause Café (though those options may be abandoned in favor of Le Camion Qui Fume when the weather warms up)
