The group visited the Latin Quarter of Paris and checked out a Shakespearean bookstore that Christina suggested on a Friday afternoon. The neighborhood had the ambiance of a small village with petite shops, international restaurants, and intimate bars. While we were there, we also went inside the Notre Dame and walked into a live church service. Though we did not run into “Quasimodo” (yet), we did step on a landmark that signified the exact center of Paris. 🧭
After more walking on the Parisian streets, we had dinner with Tierney at an authentic Mexican restaurant, “Fajitas.” We ate in a private section of the restaurant, hidden below a general view via a winding staircase. In my opinion, the food was a bit expensive, but the conversations were great; Tierney shared her awesome travel stories that kept everyone guessing. When everyone was finished, both of the Pamelas (Burovac vs Johnson) had an intense tug-of-war battle for the bill. It turned out that someone underpaid their fair portion of the check. There was a lot of drama and confusion with all the money exchanging, coin tossing, and finger-pointing. Diminutive emotions of guilt, betrayal, and frustration pervaded the scene; everyone seemed to have walked away from the establishment with something more than just a full stomach. 💶
Dang D! you were right in the center of Paris!

ReplyDeleteThats good to see Quasimodo or whatever he is. But how was the food thought was it good that you might want to eat there again or was it just too expensive and don't want to go back?
