Top 3 Best Chocolat Chaud a Paris :)
Hannah and I skipped the run for today and took a nice brisk walk through the cutest parts of Paris while the heavens smiled down on us and the beautiful sunshine came out. AMAZING.
We started out with trying out some of Paris' finest hot chocolate. Everybody knows Angelina's has some liquid gold, but I will say, this cocoa was a bit better. It wasn't too thick or too rich to drink and the cafe itself was adorable. Right across the street is Les Deux Magots which apparently also has some of Paris' finest cocoas. This could be a new hobby of mine; drinking expensive cocoa every Friday morning and then taking a long walk through the most beautiful city ever.
After our cocoas were sadly finished, Hannah was a peach and bought mine as a birthday gift! I have the best of friends here, I swear. We kept walking down the street when, by fluke, I mentioned that I wanted to send my mom a cooking magazine from Paris because I think she would love it. We happened to be passing a newspaper stand and I randomly selected one to look through. I noticed it because of the yummy pie on the cover and the fact that it said "à table!" a French calling which I love. And then Hannah was like, "wait! It says Seattle!" In fact, there is a whole inside story on Seattle and it's food and all things lovely. I just haaaaad to buy it! This magazine has 75 recipes in French, beautiful pictures, a story on donuts, and Seattle! And then to add to the coolness, it's an Elle Magazine which is a must-take-home souvenir from life in Paris. Hannah and I agreed we don't like their fashion so the fact that Elle has a food magazine suits us way better.
With magazines tucked under our arms, we strolled through Saint-Germain-des-Pres on the lovely day and I couldn't have been happier. A classy part of Paris with the cutest little streets and alleys to discover.
