Paris

This time, it was a real whirlwind experience of Parisian life. In just one day, we visited the Centre of Pompidou, enjoyed the buskers, walked past River Seine, headed to the Louvre and found ourselves at a Christmas Parisian night market that ran forever. Literally forever. It was a complete day and our legs were sore. Forgot to bring my phone out so photos are only caught on my camera.

The next day we got more Parisian (with our food). We walked about 8 km to revisit Luxembourg Gardens and popped by Polidor. After lunch, we were off to the Eiffel Tour and Galleries Lafayette and finally to Chartier, a French restaurant which is a must visit not for the quality of food but more for the experience. What an experience! A mischievous waiter recommended Veal with of course sounded delicious only to know when it arrived that it was the Head of Veal. So on Dan's plate was the tongue, the cheek and other indescribable stuff all intact. 

It was a great 3 days in Paris -  and my opinion of the place has not changed - a smoking and urined laden city which does mean desserts and pastries. Well, my mom in law has aptly described it as an "International Toilet".
