So all good things must come to an end - I leave Paris tomorrow for Munich where I'll drown myself in beer during the Oktoberfest and stuff myself with sausages.
The past eight days in Paris have been an endless stream of eating - going from one place to the next in search of the next eating spot on the Skinny Epicurean's eat-list. She, the very organised person, brought along with her a list of food places we should pay homage to. I'm so thankful to her for planning every day's agenda and itinerary! Thanks, dearie!!!
The main things on her agenda were patisseries and boulangeries 'cos this dear girl loves baking. Suited me fine 'cos I love desserts! It's a sinful indulgence but oh well, this IS Paris. Worry about the calories later.
Thankfully the Skinny Epicurean is great at reading maps. I'm hopeless - even with a map I can still get lost. When I travel on my own, I just go by the 'feel' of the place, which sends me in circles quite often but it's fun too 'cos I end up discovering little places I never intended to go to.
Anyways, while I head off to Deutschland, she goes back to Singapore the day after tomorrow and I guess she'll have lots of stuff to regale our other foodie friends back home. Get this - we are in Paris and we haven't even stepped into one museum!!! Ostensibly, food is the main agenda for us! Paris has been kind to us too - the City of Love has blessed us with good weather what with the sunshine and not-so-butt-freezing-cold temperatures.
Many thanks, too, to Umami and family who have been the most generous hosts. Her little daughter is an absolute delight to play with! The girl's a real charmer with her apple pink cheeks and cherubic face.
So I say goodbye to the land of fantastic food, cheeses, wines, pastries, breads and will next say hello to the land of sausages, pork knuckles, beer, beer, beer and beer.
