Gay Paree 2024 day 4

we got up at like 10 and went to the cafe and saw this guy down a side street wheat pasting this art up and we went to look at it later all excited and then were like uh we're not really into this. Butte aux cailles is a big street art area

the ave d'italie market on sundays is a very diverse one

a cafe glacé, iced coffee for jen cuz hangover. We all had hangovers which makes it awesome that the house is a 7 min walk to chinatown which is a lot of vietnamese businesses including what many say is the best Pho in paris, Pho Banh Cuon 14. Pho is a hangover helper for many and we were lovin' it. The french colonized vietnam which is why there's so much vietnamese stuff.



ridin bikes up and over to Le Bon Marche epiceree to buy picnic stuff. Bob said at one point he almost threw the bike on the ground and walked cuz it was so stressful for him with buses and stuff. but he made it.

insert your own french jokes here about how someone left their dinner on the sidewalk or something. To be fair to us there are a LOT of snails.

wish we had more time in Le Bon Marche cuz we all were enjoying this improptu shopping experience which in my experience is usually helped with a hangover because you're calm and not in a hurry

we got several of these bright glossy cochonettes that we desperately need but yet bobby still has them to this day and i suspect its because he's a freak and he likes twiddlin' them btwixt his fingers or something.

after a long time we finally had our picnic stuff and went to Jardin du Luxembourg. expensive foie gras, a 40 euro bottle of wine that would be like $120 at a restaurant and none of us even remembered or noticed cuz all of the wine is good that we've had. meats and cheese and butter, we all wanted to keep slathering the butter on stuff. rillettes, and ryan was a naughty boy and got caviar. There was so much of everything we couldn't eat it all and it got left in the fridge.




happened upon a wine place run by a Japanese guy, its called Cave Sauvage and they have a restaurant across the st.




biking over to the eiffel tower


eiffel tower was mobbed with tourists cuz it was all set up for the olympics still. The bikes were messed up so we called it a night at went home.
