Dear Joan,
Bonne nuit, mon amie! Your lunch at Les Cocottes sounds delish.... Wish I was eating with you - in fact, I was sspretending that I was right there next to you and enjoying the same lunch! How's that for imagination!
Looking forward to your everyday adventures which are always tops!
bisous,
Lilia

I'm so excited to see this. Glad you arrived safe and I'll be checking in and hanging on every word. I can't believe it's been three years already. I was in Paris exactly at this time three years ago, but I was lucky and didn't get rain.

I was off early. I had breakfast at Florent's place. small baguette, croissant, oj and cafe creme. We visited and I asked wherre to find a terry robe that I failed to put in bag. He thought Monoprix. I told him I would be back for lunch.
Went to ecole militaire to load navigo decouverte so hopped on metrop to lamotte-picquet. Monoprix across street. They were disappointing..only long heave terry robes. Markeet was in full swing so wandered therre..might be some robes! No luck..stopped in a few shops and one gal told me of another store down the street. Not sure if it was the one she had mentioned, but found just what I wanted..short, cute terry robe...50% OFF! Her machine would not accept my CapOne or Amex..chip problem, I think. Not sure if some employuees know how to get around our 'dumb' cards, or if the machines just will not accept them. Cash is always acceptable!
Hopped back on metro and decided it was too close to noon hour to go to Sud Ouest to discuss 12/10 GTG. Florent had said that he was full by 1:00..so..just went there! Had a nice lunch. It was sprinkling when I left. Stopped by Paris Perfect's new Welcome Center. It is not fully decorated at the moment, but is very nice! What else would you expect from them!! Here are pics:
First one is from Elle magazine that was done on Flirt The and Florent..others restaurant and my rerolles pasta lunch with Brouilly wine

Yestravel and tod:
I just talked with someone at Le Pamphlet. They close the first two weeks of January. Will be open on the 16th. If you want me to make a reservation for you, I would suggest that you email me at my yahoo email address that I entered earlier for sueb, in early Dec. and I will call them for you. I think they will want your hotel or something here and your name, of course. I can double check the closing dates again, too.
Tod re August. I was told they would be back the 25th..
a bientot....

Joan,
Glad to see you made it back to our favorite city again. Would love to be there with you, but since I can't, its always a pleasure to live vicariously through you. Like many others, I'll be checking in daily to see what you've been up to.

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...00_0001-15.jpg See, I am really here!!
I just walked down to Sud Ouest to talk about Dec. 10th. Great time to go there. She did remember me. We will be in a more or less private little area. My memory of a round table was not correct. Must have been some other place. The idea of 'family style' sounded good to her. I will be there for lunch one day soon and will take some pictures. Stu and Ellen, you can watch for them.
It felt a bit warmer now than earlier. The sky is quite clear.
I also did not pack one of the little wash poufs. I use them, rather than a washcloth. I always bring one with me. I stopped in a pharmacie. Try describing that when you don't speak French..or almost none. She did better with her English and finally decided it was the food market. I looked and lloked there..finally found two of them boxed in an area up near the checkout. Could easily have missed them. I needed to get some crackers of some sort to put out and see if my pigeon from last Spring remembers me!!
a bientot...........
