Sunday, March 16 – Pens and Marmots and Sparkly Things
It all began, innocently enough, with a desire to go see pens. Min, Chris, and I had our already-traditional breakfast croissant and café crème (I believe still acquiring both at a café — a practice we abandoned very quickly since a wider variety of pastries were available and much more cheaply at a selection of patisseries leaving us to only pay for the privilege of sipping our coffees in a leisurely fashion while sitting at one of the thousands of possible cafés we had to choose from).
( I swear to you, I'm getting to the pens... )
Next up: Day Three — In Which We Don't Go to the Louvre or La Musée D'Orsay
