A regular Friday like no other

I woke at 6 AM and wrote something, had a lot of coffee, and then... took a nap. Jet lag is no small thing, my friends. We ended up sleeping til well past noon. Suffice to say, it was a rather lazy first full day in Paris.

We needed stuff for our airbnb - some cheese, some toiletries, some wine. Obviously.

You must bring your own bag to the grocery store.

Let's go meander.

So we headed two blocks east to the Seine and walked along site of the Eiffel Tower. It did not suck. Along the way, we crossed a blissful and beautiful couple in wedding gear. I snapped a quick shot as the walked past us and up the stairs to cross to the Seine.

We were starving so we hit a tourist trap and overpaid for okayish food. But the view was great and, well, we're in fucking Paris!
