What a great start to the trip! Keith and I made our way, somehow, through the TGV and Metro system and got to our hotel in the early afternoon. It was amazing to note how nice the locals were in helping us move around our luggage and get us on and off the train safely. They were really friendly! After checking in, we made our way to le Queniau, a great cafe here in the Montparasse area! And let me tell you, if this food is a sign of things to come, then we will be eating well! I had a "faux filet", known as a sirloin steak, with fresh fries and a green salad. It was a little rarer than I would've liked, but that was only because I didn't understand how it was being cooked..I now know the vocab after reviewing it quickly in the hotel room :) Putting that aside, it was a great, fresh meal. We also walked around the area today and got a feel for the surroundings, just walking up and down the streets makes one smile. There are a few pictures from our room and one of the restaurant's business card attached, we'll be taking many more pictures tomorrow as we start to hit the attractions. The trip is off to a great start with great food and a great atmosphere.
Finally, I did have a demi baguette tonight, wasn't feeling the whole one, but it was pretty good. I'll talk more about this once we go into the heart of Paris for the really good pastries, breads, and everything else in between.
Looking forward to a great day and semester,
Pat
