Day 13 Paris

It's the last full day in France, time to get ready to go home. I got up this morning and went to the bakery, then walked up to the metro stop to get tickets for tomorrow mornings train to the airport. We'll have to leave at six and I don't want to have to fool around trying to make our way out of here.

Jim and Darcy stopped by to have lunch before we head home. They're leaving tomorrow too, but not quite as early as us. We went to lunch at Bistrot Mazarin, the same restaurant we had dinner the first night we were in town. It was a good last big meal in Paris. Darcy had a salad, Sylvia  a ham and cheese omelette, Jim a veal picatta, and I had veal kidneys. Everybody was happy as usual, and we lingered there for a couple of hours. Afterwards we stopped for a drink at a restaurant directly across from our apartment called Le Procope. We sat outside and just watched people. A pleasant afternoon.

In the evening Sylvia and I went for a walk just to get out of the apartment for awhile. A crepe sounded good, so we stopped at a little creperie and each ordered a dessert crepe. We both gained a few pounds I'm sure. Tomorrow's an early day and it's nice to be going home.
