Done in Paris and heading to Lux

I started this morning by taking a walk around the hotel area and checking out some shops. Found a Starbux and got the morning started right. :-) I’ve heard there are no Starbux in Luxembourg so this was my last chance to get a soy latte. After a while I headed back to the hotel and chilled for an hour before checking out.

We wrapped up the weekend in Paris with a brunch in a pretty cool area of the city and managed to get a table outside for some people watching. We met Sravathi’s cousin and a friend of Fabrice and the 5 of us just relaxed there for a while.

Then we jumped in the car and headed for Luxembourg. Problem was the mayor of Paris (I think) has ordered the expressway around the river to be closed to cars on Sundays so that people would have a walking mall and I guess they even bring in sand to create a fake beach. Anyway, this meant we had to travel along the surface roads and this added about an hour to the drive. Once we got out of the city it was an awesome drive and the countryside was gorgeous.

We went to a really good Chinese place and got a bunch of take out, went back, and watched some of the French Open finals on the DVR.

    It kills me that you are now drinking soy lattes. It is tons of fun to see you morph into a Californian. What’s next, Birks?! ;-)

    Ha! Sadly, I have to do the whole soy thing. The long hair is a choice but my body gets mad if I drink a bunch of milk.
