Margot and I woke up next to each other post delicious sleep in. I looked at her with sleep in my eyes and grog in my throat (sans rum) and hit the snooze button numerous times. Very lovingly. Like the good traveling buddy she is, she got up and did some journalling, I think. Clearly she was gazing upon my sleeping body and sketching it...no homo.
-We met up with Nadia and her friend Anne for yummy brunch in front of St. Jaques near a shopping district in Paris. This building is actually the beginning of a pilgrimage numerous Christians have done for centuries to Spain. We, however, finally got to do some clothing shopping! Zara's, Mango & Stradavarius. Bon marche! (inexpensive) and absolutely adorable. Shopping with Parisian girls in Paris! Lucky us.

-Somehow without completely melting we made our way to La Comedie St. Michel where we saw Cyrano de Bergerac. That's right folks. Cyrano, en francais, in France! Roxanne and the pickpocket/poet/soldier were very delighted. The production only had the most major of characters and was played by nine actors. We enjoyed it and Autumn got pictures with many of the actors. It was like Disneyland.
-We then spent several hours in Jardin du Luxembourg people watching and talking about good ol' life. Bare feet in the grass, daisies swaying, small children playing, words and birds in the breeze. Before we knew it it was eight and we were starving. Dinner was had next door to the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookstore, but because dejeuner is truly an affair in France we only had about 30 mins in the book store before it closed. But it is amazing and we are going back every day the rest of this week. If Margot never leaves Paris, it's because she found a hidey-hole in that bookshop.

Word of the day: poelée: fried (as in food) (again).
