Here are the last of my pictures from our Paris visit.
In planning our trip, I consulted the Paris Travel Guide from Aspiring Kennedy for some terrific pointers.
We included several of her recommendations.
Our favorite was the steak dinner at le "Relais de l'Entrecote" which was just superb!
We also turned the corner one morning to find the the Rue Cler food market that she mentioned.
The perfect place to take pictures.
At dinner one night at Le Suffren, I discovered my new favorite dessert.
Lemon Sorbet with a chilled shot of vodka. Makes my lips pucker just thinking about it.
TE had one that was chocolate chip ice cream with a mint liqueur shot.
Speaking of desserts...
We had breakfast each morning at this little patisserie A la Petite Marquise.
They were so friendly and the croissants were perfect.
Mom was craving an Apple Martini so we popped into Paris London.
Paris is lovely, but certainly not cheap.
Like most big cities there are many who would like to get a hold of your money.
Some by entertaining or inspiring you. (Others by less enterprising methods. Be cautious.)
Don't you just love how every city has it's own distinctive flavor?

Paris is romantic and alive... it has a sparkle to it.
And what a great place to people watch.
There is a certain style to Parisians. They carry themselves like they are in on a great secret.
But, I don't think I'd want to drive in Paris.
(I thought the roundabouts in the UK were free-for-all's.)
I'm also learning that as beautiful as any city is, there is a comparably dark side to that city.
We saw many things that didn't fit the mold of the City of Light... the lonely and disconnected, the haughty and judgmental, the predatory and dangerous.
As hard as some of those things are to see,
it's still a very important part of the experience of travel.
Those dark things inspire me to think and consider as much as the beautiful things.
Do you agree?
