Quiet Weekend

It felt like we were the only people who spent the weekend in Paris. I think the rest of the city was in the south of France or Spain. It was a very quiet weekend. We went furniture shopping on Saturday. Now that we are staying for an additional year, we thought about moving into a larger and more comfortable apartment. After looking for one, we decided to stay in this apartment and just make it more comfortable. We love the neighbourhood and we love the terrace, but the furniture is pretty worn out. First on the agenda was a new bed which was delivered on Saturday night. We are also looking at a new convertible couch and counter-top oven.

Also on Saturday, we went for a walk down one of our favorite streets in Paris, rue Cler. It's not far from the Eiffel Tower and it's full of markets and cool shops. We bought some incredible strawberries and oranges. I bought a Chocolate Eclair that must have weighed 1 pound. It was delicious. Then we went into a traiteur, which is like a deli, and sitting in the display case was real bacon.
We had it on Sunday morning and it was so good. Lori says if I keep writing about bacon, everyone will think I'm obsessed with it. I'm not exactly sure what her point is.
