It's all about the food



Our first meal in Paris was from a Boulangerie (bakery). We picked up sandwiches and Cokes and came back to our hotel to sit in the air conditioning. It was very hot today. I am so thankful we are staying in a hotel that has air conditioning.

At the bakery we picked up what we thought was mozarella, and tomato sandwich on a baguette. It turned out to be tuna fish. Wow was it good! Probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had.


For dinner tonight we ate at le "Relais de l'Entrecote". Don't ask me what it means I have no idea. This restaurant was right around the corner from the St-Germain des-Pres metro stop and about a 5 block walk from our hotel. For dinner they served a fixed menu of Salad with walnuts and mustard dressing, pomes des frittes (french fries) and steak with a 'secret house sauce.' Don't let the photos fool you... It was lick the plate good!

  1. Oh yeah, food pictures. Now our family can tease you as much as they tease me about putting food pics on the blog. Is that the place where we ate with our french family the last time we went as a family? It looks really familiar. My translator says the name means "Relay of Rib Steak" Since it's a steakhouse that kinda makes sense. Sara Beth had a tuna sandwich when we were in Paris and she thought it was really good too. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings you. Hope it's a little cooler. Guess you won't be drinking any hot chocolate!
