| Marriott Champs-Elysees Breakfast Buffet |
|
|
Four days and nights in Paris for my 100th birthday is good for the soul. Okay 50, but it feels like 100.
On the right is the heart attack on a plate I consumed for breakfast. Every morning we embraced the buffet saving thousands on meals. When you turn a 1/2-century old, you are allowed to exaggerate freely by the way. Other than this, it was mostly chocolate, wine, crepes or all three the rest of the day.

| Eiffel Tower, February 7, 2011 |
When you spend a lot of time somewhere, you tend to take for granted the major landmarks and monuments a city is known for. I had never been up the Eiffel Tower until last Monday. It was staggering.

I couldn't get enough of the charming boutiques on every corner of neighborhoods like La Marais, Rue du Rivoli... It woke up my mind for the four days we were there.
We spent hours at Montmartre, La Marais, the Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, the Louvre, the Marmottan, shopping and getting lost in the Metro. We even got a Jules fix the last night of our stay complete with iFart.
I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than in Paris last week. Thank you M!
