day 1

sunday 9 may 2010 paris

landed bright and early in the morning and were whisked straight to the Bs' for a delectable croissant and pain au chocolat breakfast. because the pastries are inherently very rich, they're only enjoyed on weekends. but we were just about to begin the holiday and allowed some wriggle room, intake-wise. breakfast was delightfully followed in quick succession by a stroll around isle st louis and an early lunch. it'd been more than six months since my last steak tartare fix and i was raring to go. we returned to our usual haunt and i gorged on raw beef to my heart's content. once the inner savage was satiated, we walked off lunch by the seine then M very kindly drove us to the quay to board the barge.
