Minnesota meet Paris

A day in Parisian Life + Boat Tour

This morning we attend the local Farmer’s Market. It is held Wednesday and Saturday each week. It is a full-service Market where locals buy all their groceries for the week. They have all kinds of meat, fresh cheeses and yogurt, fruits and vegetables, spices, nuts, jams, breads. Not to mention people playing the trumpets while begging for donations, clothes, shoes, and scarves.

Frog Legs are a delicacy in France (in the middle).

Kristina and I buy a few pair of shoes and fruits and vegetables. Things are reasonably priced. I get some darling brown ankle boots for 10E and a silver wallet for 8E. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious!

The children stroll through the market gasping at the fish and chickens fully intact. “Gross!” they shout at every raw meat stand. I think the sight of the chickens’ head and claws still attached may be enough to turn me into a vegetarian as well.

Later we go on the river boat and are able to see all the monuments from the river. We scramble to capture the best photographs of classic French architecture. Tomorrow we have the day off and will actually tour the heart of Paris and take pictures of everything we haven’t thus far.
