As Ty mentioned below, we have been holed up for a few days but ventured out yesterday to enjoy a picnic in the Jardin du Luxembourg which is about 5 minutes away. We were starving and ordered a bunch of food at this great boulange and headed over. We picked a small park with purple and pink flowers and a tree in the middle with leaves every shade of autumn, it was picture perfect. Yes, there was a bum just waking up to the right of us, but some french policewoman was kicking him out so it was all good and if I switched off my periferal vision, he was out of sight. It was a beautiful day until it started to rain but thankfully that was after we ate. Wouldn't want to miss a meal! These pics are a little out of order but I am in the gardens walking back after it started to sprinkle at the bottom of this entry.
Today we had lunch at a fabulous Italian place. We were joking that we are in Paris but keep finding great Italian food restaurants. We actually weren't totally psyched on the food while we were in Italy, but the stuff we find here is to die for. Below is the pizza I took down, it was Four Framages. Ty was mortified that I took a pic as the restaurant was a small, dark, cozy room and we were seated right on top of each other and the flash was really bright. But I had to take one for the team for my blog! In the back is Ty's lasagna and it was decadent. Every bite (I stole 2) melted in your mouth and was full of cheese and had a crusty top that crunched perfectly. He was in heaven, I knew because I don't he said a word from the time they dropped his plate.
Ok, so this is embarrising because the pic is supposed to be flipped to the right. I am not sure why exactly I am posting this but last night at the Greek restaurant, the waiter shouted the dessert options at us and I replied, "Peaches!!" This is what came and after we had some wine, I thought it was hilarious that I got canned peaches for "Dessert''. I am not sure this would fly in SF nor would anyone believe me. I can't really further comment on this...
Here is Ty with the wonderful Greek wine we had, the waiter was full of personality and talked us (well, mainly me, Ty said no) into ordering another 1/2 bottle. I have no idea why this was a good idea but it was so cheap and we were having fun talking with these 2 guys next to us so I went for it. I was also kind of terrified of the waiter, I am not gonna lie. He shouted out our bill tab at the end of the night and for a moment I was thrilled to be somewhere where gratuity is included as I am sure he would have announced that to everyone as well. It was comedy forsure. 
Below is a pic of the gardens from yesterday, I am smiling so big because it started to rain and we had no umbrella.
