Honeymoon in Paris

After ten hours on Delta/Air France, we finally made it to Paris in the late afternoon. Ivy and I waited at the airport for about an hour before learning that our bag didn't make the flight. Due to some hold up, it was suppose to come tomorrow.


The Bag That Never Comes 

We made it to the Hotel Ambassador around 3pm and dropped our stuff off. We decided to stroll the city.

Our very first stop - The Galleries Lafayette, a shopping mall, of course. The place was huge and very nice. It sort of reminded me of the San Francisco shopping center on Market Street, but much larger, cleaner, and definitely with more character.

We roamed for most of the evening before deciding to eat at La Taverne for dinner. From the set "Boulevard" menu, I ordered the quiche, steak, and creme brulee. Ivy had the mozzarella salad, duck in raspberry sauce, and creme brulee as well. Each of us both had a small bottle of Bordeaux. C'etait delicieux!


Dinner at La Taverne 

Harry Potter was playing down the street and we decided to catch the 9:15pm showing - in English with French subtitles. The line wasn't too bad. Ivy slept through most of the beginning though.


The Cinema 

It was close to 3am before we finally made it to bed.
