Paris, 2006
 
 
…We made our way to the Jardin du Luxembourg, then up to Montmartre where we climbed yet more stairs… eventually we ended up eating a late dinner back in the Trocadero neighborhood, down the street from our hotel. What an exhausting day! day 3, part 2

up, up to Butte Montmartre. Higher and higher, I feel like I’m in San Francisco (not really)

Chris’ mom’s favorite restaurant in all Paris
In 1814 Russian cossacks would bang on the table shouting “Bistro!” (“quick”) hence the bistro was named.
it has been around a long time
hot mulled wine
puppet store

more pizza at Ozio,  just down the street from our hotel.
