D’Orsay and Shopping

Thursday, June 22nd. Anya and I had breakfast in the cute downstairs cave at the hotel. We walked 14 miles during the day!

It was a rainy day. We went to the D’Orsay museum in the morning and enjoyed art and lunch at the cafe near the clock windows.

We went back to Marsais again. We had to have the wonderful chocolate from Peru again - Jean-Paul Hevin. I bought necklaces for Paige and Eryca for Christmas. We got the Moroccan mint tea again. A lady was trying to get money from everyone while we were there.

We shopped and got Anya a very cute vest and mini skirt. I got a blouse. We got an ornament from a shop that had fantasy items upstairs and Christmas items downstairs. It was a narrow stairway to go downstairs. We picked out an ornament and went upstairs ASAP!

In another store, I saw an amazing Chanel necklace made from a Chanel button. I ended up calling and ordering it after we returned home and they shipped it to me.

We got lost a bit walking back. We dropped off our shopping bags and went back to Rue Cler for more yummy pizza and ice cream.

One of our guides on the trip was named Ham. He told us to be French you go to cafes for 3 days. You sit with your friends all on one side so you can all see the street. You slouch and smoke and judge hard. Day 1 - you watch the people go by and check out the fashion. Day 2 - you shop for the fashion that was your favorite the day before. Day 3 - You wear your new outfit to the cafe with your friends. Anya saw our waitress at the pizza cafe wear a cute vest with jeans. When we shopped, she found a similar vest in Marsis today and she wore it to dinner tonight! Voila - she is French! Czytaj więcej
