Day 1

Had an interesting first night & day. We had dinner at the house, a three-cheese quiche, salad, qnd strawberries & cream for desert. Then we both strugged to stay awake. After being up and down several times, I finally got to sleep. Woke up to croissants and pain au chocolate, in time to go back to sleep! The jet lag is fighting me more than I am able to fight it.

At around 1 pm, we made our first journey out to explore all of the Passages in Michael's neighborhood. These "passages" are covered shops built at the end of the 19th century. This is a photo of the clock at the ceiling of one of them, which is dated 1846. Had a nice shrimp, grapefruit, and avocado salad for lunch. Visited the pharmacy and purchased postcards afterwards.
