A rainy day in Paris...

It was our first real rainy day in Paris. Since we've been here, we've been blessed with some pretty great weather. It's rained a few times but usually at night or just a sprinkle. Today, however, there was quite a bit of rain throughout the day.

We escaped the rain by heading to Hippo Resto for some lunch and a cup of café crème. It's ironic that I kicked my coffee habit once I came to Paris (since their coffee here is so smooth and délicieux unlike what we have back home). I used to have a cup of coffee every morning back in SF, but now, it's become a once a week occurence and usually accompanies people watching as we sit sipping our coffee ever so slowly. I also had their Hippo'tatoes de mais, which were quite tasty and satisfying, and Quinn had a burger, which seemed pretty mediocre especially for being a $17 burger. I would have much preferred the $1 hamburger at McDonalds.

We spent the rest of the day taking care of some admin stuff, planning our day trips, and running errands (I had to get about 10 inches hemmed from the bottom of my ginormous uniform).

Our guilty indulgence for the day was at Deliziefollie, a gelaterie creperie place just a couple of doors down from our appartment. Both their crepes and gelato are yum-o. The service was great, and one of the gals working there spoke fluent English so we chit chatted for quite a bit as we waited for our crepes.
