J'aime Paris

We met up with Mary and David Z. in Paris last weekend. Elliot was unfortunately grounded in Israel recovering from an ear infection, and was not allowed to fly (but he was with us in spirit).

It was so nice to reunite with family and have a taste of home, and at the same time explore the fabulous city of Paris. We ate well, and our eyes feasted on architecture, people, and art. The weather was cold, but that also meant the crowds were smaller.

On Friday afternoon we ate lunch at "Le Grand Vefour" in Le Palais Royal. It is very hard to describe our experience in words (you must go try it for yourself!) Delicious food, attentive service, amazing food, unique atmosphere, and exquisite food. Did I mention how good the food was?
When dessert finally came we were stuffed, but how could we pass this up! Beautiful and delicious! And they kept bringing extra things too. The meal lasted the entire afternoon. By the time we were finished with lunch it was time for dinner (but we had no room!) We both agree, it was the best meal we have ever eaten.
Inside the Musee D'Orsay, and the same view from the model of it (I think this appeals to me because of the hundreds of hours I put in making models in graduate school)

Thanks for the amazing weekend Uncle E & Auntie M!!!
