Obviously, meant to say "aren't" instead of "are"..

My supervisor thought he would do us a favor this Friday morning and brought in Krispy Kreme. No contest at all, none. IMO of course.

Joan,
Which bakery is that? The one on the corner near your apartment? Fabulous pics. My scrambled eggs sucked.

NP,

You are in NC? Where? I am in Asheville..not at the moment..but when home!!

It is cloudy now..looks like it might shower.

Just got off the phone to friend in SC...free phone service here. She teaches French to some seniors, with high school French, and then plans some trips to France.She is putting one together and wants a Paris Perfect apartment for the group. Just picked out the Rully for her group. The layout for sleeping would be perfect!! She will do some looking when here in Dec.

I will post some pictures after Cafe Constant this evening...

a bientot.

Joan

Roberta,

Sorry about your scrambled eggs!!

I was down on rue du Bac and it was the Eric Kayser there. I could have had scrambled eggs there, too!

Lots and lots of boots!! Many stores have big sales on them, too!! Sales all over the place... I will think of you this evening when at Cafe Constant...

a bientot...

Joan

Oh Joan...those pictures are killing me...Here I sit in Starbucks with a latte and a poor excuse for a croissant...everything looks so fresh and wonderful...I know you're enjoying every minute..keep those pictures coming!

tod----thanks for the great wesite on Paris streets. We can now look at all our favorite places.

TPAYT

The google map ones are good, too. You can look all up and down the streets. Fun to play with...

Joan

I clicked the above too soon! I don't know where you are eating tonight, but my dinner was excellent!

The entree was artichoke and mushroom with some greens and light dressing...marvelous..The main was foie gras stuffed quail, mushrooms, small potatoes...delicious, delicious. That is an apple tarte.

I'm sure I have spoiled your dinner!!

Beautiful meals; such fun you must be having!

Meals look delicious and slideshow works great.
Another nice thing about Google maps. You can save to "mymaps" It enables you to mark places of interest and a notes section on each. We are using it to help set itinerary for our December trip. Fun easy way to see what is close in each area to visit and where to stop and eat.
Hope you have nice weekend weather, Joan.

Ahh Eric kaiser bakery!

It looks like you are having a great day, I stayed near rue du bac the last few visits but did not see Deyolle?? I will have to take a look at it. We spent alot of breakfasts at that Eric kayser and also the frommage just across the street. am soo anxious to get there next weeek. Thanks for the communication from Catherine. I sent the shuttle inter an email. should hear soon from them.

Great pics of the meal. Joan, you've really gotten the hang of this, right? So far, your "settling in" days are fabulous. Continue with the details, mon ami. Missing Paris...

-Roberta

Joan,
Looks like you are having a great time...Where is the Eric Kaiser bakery?
Grace

Grace,

There are a number of them around Paris. I was in the 18 rue du Bac because I was in the area shopping.

Many other excellent ones. I will go to one that I like on St. Dominiqe this morning, unless I go to Cafe Constant or go to Florent's and chat with him....

I'm in no hurry this morning..looks partly cloudy. I think supposed to be chilly. Have not looked at temps, yet..

a bientot...

Joan

Bonjour,

I walked down to a nearby favorite spot for petite dejeuner..took a few pictures for you.

I then wandered down St. Dominique to various favorite places. I did stop and take a picture of a 'pile' of ceps!

I am going out later for afternoon tea!

Let's see what this looks like:

Joan, I wish you sunny skies, mild temperatures, good times with good friends, continued fabulous food and most of all...safe travels. I am enjoying your trip as well and thank you for your reports and many kindnesses. Be well, Karen

I was just about to have a pop tart, then I saw the pictures from your petit dejeuner- now I'm jealous, and starving!! I can't wait to get to Paris next month--I'm loving every minute of your report and taking notes. Thank you for sharing.
