I was not able to write yesterday from being too tired.
So I will fill in today!
We started off the day with Chocolate croissants.
We decided to go to the Galeries Layfayette. The Galeries are like a giant Macy's or Nordstrom's, a really nice big place with lots of expensive things.
On our way we stopped at the Opéra, where they show Operas and Ballets in the Spring, Fall and Winter. There is no air conditioning and that is the reasoning for not having performances in the Summer.
But it is a gorgeous building that was comissioned by Napoleon.
Beautiful.
At the Galeries we had reservations for the public Fashion Show at three.
So we stopped on the fifth floor of the women's building at the café.
DELICIOUS!
We had the most incredible chocolate mousse there and some great lasagna type thing.
It had lots of cheese, therefore I liked it.
The fashion show was spectacular.
The models are so gorgeous and the clothing expensive.
The show even included an underware portion which I'm sure my father was disappointed with missing.
Afterwards we went shopping but after discovering that the cheapest shoe was 59 Euros, or about 75 dollars American we left.
That and I had worn heels, meaning that my feet were close to bleeding.
We made our way back without my father, quite a feet for five American women in a Metro.
On the way to the apartment we stopped at the Starbuck's to have a drink and sit down.
They just don't make it here like they do at home.
For dinner we had a salad with a spinach goat tart and some chicken pastry-thing.
Dessert consisted of a chocolate cake and a chocolate tart that tasted like a pie crust filled with chocolate.
