Parents

My parents arrived this morning at CDG. I rode out there to get them, and after seeing how many bags they brought, decided that a taxi was far and away the best route to get back to our apartment.

Our taxi driver actually spoke decent English, and was telling us about how his daily car was set on fire the previous night randomly. Very crazy!

After giving him a 50 for the ride I ran down to our neighborhood bakery to get some pain au chocolat (chocolate bread) and some croissants. Then we went out to explore churches. St. Suplice. St Germain. Notre Dame. Stopping for some crepes along the way, which my parents had never had. And they loved them! As of course they did because crepes are amazing!

At Notre Dame we joined one of the English tour groups (at 2:30, Saturdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) which was way too long, but did get us access to the choir part of the church which was cool.

Also they brought me the new Canon 70D I bought off Amazon, which has about 3 times the low light ability of my old 20D SLR, so that was fun to play with.

We finished the day with Cafe Cassette, which was delicious as usual. The plat du jour was Pot-au-feu, which is essentially a roast beef stew, and was amazing.
