25 miles and sore legs




We walked over 25 miles yesterday & today and yes....my legs are quite sore! It's a great way to justify all the croissants and baguettes I've been consuming!
This mornings was a chocolate almond paste croissant, probably the best one so far. I will have to say, I am a little disappointed with the coffee, Octane in Atlanta is still my favorite for a cappuccino.....I never thought I'd say that! John made a good point, most of the beans all come from the same places these days and the machines are mostly the same... Go figure....

For this little leg of our trip we used Airbnb, the place we chose is in the Marais, an area recommended by a friend. The reviews were mixed but the price was right at $80.00 for a studio apartment. The location is perfect! There are a few bummers like trucks unloading and backing up at 5:00am just about every morning...but hey, it got us up early and the upside are all the fun shops along our street Rue de Rosiers.
John nabbed an old bomber/biker black leather jacket in a 2nd hand store for $40.00....."SCORE".... Even better it has tons of secure pockets to prevent pic-pocketing!








This was definitely creepy enough to warrant a shot...








Sometimes wandering takes you to unexpected surprises!
