There is a very posh shopping center, the Bon Marche, down the street from our apartment. Yesterday first thing we enjoyed an Elliot Erwitz exhibit in the basement of Bon Marche where the bookstore and cafe is located and then took photos of ourselves in a cool globe over our table.
We filled up our water bottles with wine and went for a very chilly boatride down the Seine River. Beautiful views. Frozen faces & fingers.
After the ride we were chilled to the bone so we stopped here:
My sisters, of course, will be WELL aware of what this is! the very famous, very adored parisian hot chocolate (although I added some baileys, yum!) Then we went to dinner with the couple we were supposed to photograph the Saturday we arrived. Very nice.
This morning Julie did some sexy shooting with Anne & Paige (individually!) They attempted with me but we all know what i'm like in the morning. So NO sexy photos of me. Just grumpy ones. Then we wandered around the Latin Quarter and had coffee, risotto, wine- the norm and did some shopping. Towards the end of the day we finally found a re-sale shop and I breathed a sigh of relief. It was a frantic 30 minutes because they closed on the dot of 7pm, but I managed to make it out the door with quite a few treasures! Had a fabulous dinner and drinks in the little restaurant, Le Gorille Blanc ("The White Gorilla") that is literally at the bottom of the stairs and next door to our apartment- right under our noses!! Actually quite relieved we did not discover it until tonight as it would have made this trip quite a bit more expensive.
Only one more day here before we leave for Paris. My itinerary has us leaving the apartment at 8:30am (a full 3 hours before our normal departure!) and back to the apartment by midnight to pack for our flight to Ireland the following morning. Eeeek! Need to sleep!
