Day 32: A perfect day in Paris

1. The day started with a visit to the famous pedestrian street market of Rue Cler, where a huge vat of tomato soup outside a boulangerie (bakery) inspired my choice for lunch.

2. A baguette from the boulangerie went well with the steaming bowl of tomato soup.

3. Since lunch only cost 2,50 Euros (not even because I only ate half the baguette), I splurged and got a strawberry and raspberry mini-tart for dessert.

4. As you can see, I enjoyed it very much.

5. In comparison, J had a boring (in my opinion, of course) lunch of Parisan pizza.

6. After lunch we decided to take advantage of the good weather and make a spontaneous trip to visit the Thinker at the Rhodin Museum Garden.

7. I was not so interested in the actual museum, so I left J to enjoy the rest of the museum by himself while I made my way to Shakespeare & Co., an English bookstore near the Seine.

8. I left the bookstore empty-handed, but unexpectedly found myself walking past the Pantheon on my way home.

9. Oh, I forgot to mention that we bought some sausages from a chacuterie (meat shop) on Rue Cler, which I made for dinner alongside some onions and peppers on a toasted baguette (left over from lunch).

10. (picture not shown) A game of Big Game Hunters is the perfect ending to a perfect day in Paris.
