Doors are taller but the tables are smaller....

Thursday...
Paris- Just when you think that a city accommodates tall and slender gentlemen you encounter the tables in restaurants. Getting one leg under a bistro 2 seater is interesting.

Australia is very clean, even though it is a nanny state in a lot of ways. The driving laws in Paris and dog poo everywhere on the footpaths attest to the benefits.

Visited a street market today and bargained with a man over the price of some forchettes (forks) and then over his adding up. Got him down from 40 to 24 as he was packing up for the day. Score!

Angers- need a traffic control degree to get around it. Pop up bollards for local traffic only. Thanks for trying to rip the engine out of the Pug from the bottom Tom Tom.

Thanks Jo and Damien for a great dinner recommendation. The cauliflower and foie gras soup was out of this world delicious and the rest of the set menu was faultless. We had our first butter foam experience. Out of control!!

Our hosts were so passionate about their food and making sure everyone has a great experience. Very humbling- it was like we were being hosted in a home rather than a restaurant. Lucky for us our hotel was just accross the road and could stumble back- he had a good wine list by the glass.
