Paris, Day Two

Sidewalk Flower Shop

Meat Shop

Lots of graffiti, even in the nice parts of town

Bus stop in Pigallia

Housing; buildings are eight stories tall or less. This creates a uniform feeling throughout the city. It's quite a shock to see this in a big city after living in vertical Asia for all these years.

The two soups on the menu were vegetable and French onion. I told the guy, "I'm thinking that since I'm in France, I need to try the French onion soup." He said "I think you should too. It's excellent." He was right. It was fabulous!

Stopped for a latte at Starbucks somewhere along the Champs-Elysees at a little inside shopping center.

Coffee early in the day at a Starbucks on Wagram near Arc De Triumph. I tried French coffee at one restaurant near the Eiffel Tower. It was awful and stale. At least at Starbucks you get fresh coffee.
