Day 321: Paris, Day ll--Quiet Day

Today we had a very low-key, quiet day: not much to report. We slept in quite late, just lazed around, and I worked on my article for my sabbatical report. I think part of the reason we did this is that we're just a bit museum-ed out. And in general, I think two weeks was too much time to spend in Paris; I sort of wish we'd spent more time in Ireland and Prague. Also, not many places in Paris have air conditioning, and the temperatures have been in the 90s here. Monday will be about 94; Tuesday is supposed to be about 96. So staying inside afforded us the option of enjoying air conditioning.

Eventually, though, we ventured outside. Most of the cafes in Paris were closed since it was Sunday night, but we did go to a little quickie-food joint near L'Arc de Triomphe called "L'Arc Food." They have a nice variety; most of their stuff is under 10 euros: burgers, tacos, paninis, crepes, etc. Kerry and I both got paninis for dinner: I had one with mozzarella and smoked salmon; Kerry's had mozzarella and ground meat. We both had Nutella crepes for dessert. We sat near a cute British-Indian family outdoors. The boy had a cute British accent. :)   We also were troubled by bees again; Kerry managed to kill another one. I'm very worried that I'm going to get stung by one here and have stopped wearing cologne as a result.

It helped that the weather wasn't as blisteringly hot as I thought it might be, only in the mid-80s. It's supposed to be worse tomorrow, when we're supposed to go to the Eiffel Tower. I hope that goes well!
