Strolling through Paris

We strolled all through the city today – first through the outdoor market – where every last piece of produce is perfect in color and shape, and displayed with the utmost care and arrangement. I have never seen such perfect eggplant and such succulent strawberries anywhere before.

The city was relatively quiet as we walked through. We marveled at the architecture – and enjoyed the best of the best strolling in and out of high end furniture shops. Since the airline had lost our luggage – we headed to the Gallerie Lafayette and shopped in that district for the afternoon.

I had a bad feeling when we were leaving SLC, and had asked Gregg to buy travel insurance for our baggage. Luckily, we now had 500 dollars each to spend on replacement clothing. Later in the day I spoke to British Airways, and the also let us know we could purchase what we needed, and get reimbursed later.

So, we each got a few things in Paris – it was only with the promise of reimbursement that we were able to afford even the most basic of clothing with the horrible dollar to Euro conversion.
