With everyone feeling better, we set out on our first official day of real vacation. First up, baguette et chocolat chaud. Isabella is still talking about the baguette at our corner cafe, oh and the butter, too.
Our plan was to go to the Pompidou Center, which we did. But, I had to suggest a walk around beforehand. The Pompidou is only 2 blocks from our apartment, and we knew our way. I wanted to see what else was around, so grabbed the map and started walking.
This is when I figured out I have a problem reading maps. In my head, the map seemed upside down. We have since reconciled that Isabella will be the master map reader with me as a consultant, since this particular morning ended after an hour of my map reading landed us 20 minutes in the other direction.
To be fair, we found the Monoprix. A mecca of Target-esque quality. Having just "moved in" we discovered we needed a few essentials and got the following:
safety pins
hangers
razors
tissue packs
French comic book
lingerie bag
The Monoprix will be in our regular rotation. Oh and did I mention, it also has a super marche downstairs?
