May 2009
Paris | The meeting
The first day
We arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport
There are stylish espresso cups and shoes at the airport
Our hotel -
and the neighborhood - including an orange sports car and a cemetery with lots of mausoleums and crypts
The metro station (Raspail) near the hotel
We check out Notre Dame
and the Luxembourg Gardens on our walk back to the hotel
The last day
Goat van!
On the way to dinner...walking past the Pompidou Center
Cafe les Philosophes - recommended by Eric; it did not disappoint
Rich was a blur of eating. The bathrooms were quite unusual - that's the floor on the right.
Rich had beef (rare, as requested); I had duck. This was roughly the fourth time that week I ate duck.
An after dinner stroll through the City:
Ohhh, have to get up early in the morning...
