Bonjour Paris

We arrived, a little bedraggled and very tired after a full 24 hours enroute (the price of our tickets bought with miles!). Kathe had arrived hours ahead of us and had gotten us checked into our apartment. We walked to the Saint Sulpice area, where we had a kir and did some serious people watching. We explored the cathedral and got to hear the bells play for evening mass. Then we shopped for breakfast basics and visited a boulangerie (bakery) for a baguette and pastries. We (who were fading rapidly) rounded off our evening by visiting a historic corner cafe near our apartment for a plate of charcuterie--some wonderful pates, terrines, rillettes, ham, sausages, and cornichons. We're looking forward to exploring the city with fresh eyes in the morning.
