Today we started out in the Marais (Jewish neighborhood), with yummy middle eastern food (with a touch of Brooklyn: rye bread and pastrami on the menu, along with humus, etc.) Walked by the Pompidou and the Louvre (will actually go into it later in the week) then checked out the Arc de Triomphe. Stopped by the Hotel Rafael for a drink (18 Euros for a bourbon on the rocks!!!) and cabbed it home.

We are bushed, the day began with an adventure with a locksmith, but quickly got back on track.



I love this picture below: Andrea looks totally hot, and that's my beer the dude is cracking open...this is the life.



Dusty wine bottles, what's more French? This is in the middle eastern restaurant (as above) on my right elbow while sitting at the table.
