Gros-Calliou – Day 3

2022 Babymoon in Paris

Today was a pretty low-key day, due mostly to me just not feeling super great (tummy stuff – no COVID, hopefully!). We started by going to Rue Cler to try some items from a traiteur we’d been “introduced to” by Rick Steves on our audio tour last night. A traiteur is essentially a deli. But, unfortunately, the one we’d been eyeing was closed today, so we did a hodgepodge of cheese, bread, bakery items and fruit. We met a nice family from Pittsburgh at the fruit stand – we were both eyeing a large tray of strawberries. Neither of us wanted the whole thing, so we bought the tray and offered them a couple πŸ™‚

We don’t know what this is, but it was YUMMY!

We headed back “home” to eat and let my stomach settle while watching movie, after which we intended to head over to the Rodin museum, but the gardens (the best part) were closed :/ At least it was a lovely night for a walk!

The Eiffel Tower at sunset. In the foreground is Les Invalides – the military hospital during Napoleon’s reign. Now the Armee Museum.

We decided to meander down towards where the boats take off for river tours. Once we got there, however, we learned that they only depart every 2.5 hours or so and we didn’t really want to wait around. I’d done one when I was here last time and Ray pointed out that the more we can avoid people leading up to our flight, the better. #NoCOVID! But again, a lovely night for a walk regardless!

So, we headed on back to our tiny AirBnb. I had some work stuff I needed to catch up on, so I did that. Ray ordered us some delicious ramen (and a very unique drink!) and we’re just taking it easy – despite that I am now feeling 100% πŸ˜‰

One thought on “Gros-Calliou – Day 3

  1. Sorry to hear of your tummy trouble, but glad you had a sunny day, and be able to get outside! I loved the picture with the Caption, “We don’t know what this is, but it was YUMMY!”….. Wish you could bring some home!!!! The ramune explanation sounds great, too, and maybe was helpful for the indigestion?

    Beautiful photos, again!!!! Loved seeing YOUR moon in the background of your Eiffel Tower picture…..that sure made me 😁!!! I will admire our moon tonight, knowing I saw it HERE, first! πŸ’•

    Thank you for being so diligent in that and the day’s adventures!!!! We look forward to reading this every evening!!!!

    Have a great day tomorrow!!!!
