Day 2
The jet lag wore off a bit and we were excited to start our day exploring Paris. We walked down the damp sidewalks to Le Hibou for breakfast. We decided to sit outside despite it was raining and a bit cold, we wanted to experience the Parisian lifestyle. I ordered pain au chocolat which is like a French donut. It 's crossaint with choclate inside. As I ate my pain au chocolat I people watched. I saw a lady walk past us in all black and red tights, people walking their dogs, and people biking to work. As we were eating, we were talking to a lady next to us who said was from Italy and was working in France temporarily to be an interior designer.
After we ate our breakfast, we decided to go and get an after breakfast snack at Le Pierre …show more content…
We headed out to dinner and I had a classic French dish, Steak tartare. For those who don’t know what steak tartare is, it is basically raw meatloaf in a patty form. This was out of my territory. I never eat odd looking foods but thought, “might as well in Paris.” I ate it and at first it was good. The texture was off putting but by the end it felt like I was eating baby food. Also, this dinner was the first time I ever drank. Being 18, I was legal to drink alcohol. Woohoo. Because of this new freedom of mine, I got a bit too excited and may have downed some wine too fast and got a warm fuzzy feeling inside. When a man came over playing the accordion, I could not stop laughing. Why was he so funny? I don’t know, but for some reason I thought it was hilarious.
We then went to the Monoprix for food for breakfast. At this point, I’m slap happy. As I’m walking down an aisle to catch up to my family. A French guy checked me out. I repeat an attractive young French guy checked me out. It was one of those double takes where they look at you, look away, and look back and smile. That was arguably the greatest part of France. If I had a couple more drinks, I probably would have gone down the aisle and said the only French phrases I know. “Je m’appelle Kaitlynn, comment allez-vous?”..but I didn’t too
