Today was our Saint-Germain-des-Pres day. It was drizzley so we looked for things to do inside before I headed to work. A quick tour around Luxembourg gardens showed her what they hype was all about and then we headed to the Pantheon. I didn't actually know you could go in until that day so we went to check out what it was exactly. (As I'm writing this, I feel like I have totally been in there before....Is my memory seriously that awful!? Oh my gosh, do I have Alzheimer's already?) Down below the Pantheon is the crypt and it is full of some really awesome people. Marie Curie, Voltaire, Rousseau, people who helped hide Jews during WWII, the man who created braille, Victor Hugo....some cool peeps.
Next up we did something I've always wanted to do: lunched in Les Deux
Magots cafe. I never felt classier than I did sitting there drinking
some fabulous hot chocolate and eating some eggs and canadian ham. The
waiter who brought out our food apologized for speaking English to me
when I responded in French. Basically it was like being on cloud-9.
Highlight of Zabrina's stay here!
Since it was still raining, we hopped on over to the Saint Sulpice Cathedral and looked around and then walked throught he neighborhood and across Pont Neuf. The weather was shaping up so I dropped Zabrina off at Rue de Rivoli for some shopping and I headed home to cherche les enfants.
I'd say it was a pretty successful Monday!
