Our First Baguette (Day 2)
We got up around 11am, but didn't leave the room until close to 1pm. My suitcase didn't make the trip, so we decided to buy a shirt and a hat in lieu of hairspray and gel. At least Ivy's luggage made it, so it wasn't too bad.
After shopping for an hour or so at the Galleries Lafayette, we stopped for our first jambon (ham) and cheese baguette at the Brioche Doree. It tasted better than I imagined, probably because we were having it in France.
On the way back to the hotel, we stopped for a nutella and banana crepe from one of the street vendors. As full as we were, the crepe was so good and we finished every last bite. We took a not so short nap before roaming again around 7:45pm.
At Dan Chew's suggestion (thank you Dan!), we decide down the Champs-Elysees towards the Arc de Triumph to a have dinner at Leon de Bruxelles. We each had a pot of the boiled moules (mussels). I ordered it in creme sauce and Ivy had hers in a white wine sauce. We both shared a bottle of reisling.

The food was great - a huge serving of clams (at least 30 each), tasty food, and not too expensive (for Paris at least). Again, I had a creme brulee for desert and Ivy had a waffle coated with powdered sugar.
We continued our stroll along the Champs-Elysees after dinner and took some pictures at the Arc before heading back. It was almost 1am and the walk was so much longer than we had anticipated. By the time we made it back to the hotel, our feet were in serious pain.
