Paris: Museums and Runny Eggs |
Jetlagged, we woke up early and hopped
into a cafe next door. Cindy ordered the Parisian
petit dejeuner: coffee, bread (with butter and jam), a glass of OJ and a
croissant. I ordered the American petit dejeuner: the same as the
Parisian, plus an egg with ham. Again, the food kicked ass.
The croissant was fresh and flaky. The bread was crusty and
flavorful with a rich unsalted butter. The coffee was
strong. Even the ham and egg were unusually good, although I
noticed with some concern that the egg was undercooked (by American
standards) and runny. But I thought, this is France. Surely the
eggs, even somewhat raw, would be safe.
After breakfast, we took the Metro to The Louvre. Cindy saw the museum through the lens of Dan Brown. Pointing to one room, she said "That's the room where the priest was found murdered in The Da Vinci Code!" You may notice we didn't take many pictures of paintings at The Louvre. Sorry, we didn't think of it at the time. |
