paris, day five

This time around, we actually managed to catch the petit dejeuner at the hotel, which means that we woke up before 9AM. I took Susan on a short tour of Ile St. Louis, and then we made an attempt to find Paris' Chinatown. Our attempt failed, but we did find a nice park full of little kids and schoolchildren enjoying their lunch cigarettes.

Much of the day was dedicated to shopping, much to Susan's amusement, and my silent suffering. Rummaging through Forum de Halles produced quite a find - a shirt that wasn't quite eurotrash, but very cool nevertheless. Our shopping tour de force ended up in the Latin Quarter, and we finished the day with a fancy dinner at the Astiers. Plates of cheese aside, that place did not quite measure up to le Pot de Terre in terms of the value/satisfaction ratio.
