After yesterday's journey to the countryside, we decide to have a "light" recovery day touring the sights around where we live. The goal is to have a nice breakfast, visit the islands, and maybe venture to the latin quarter just south of the islands.
Once again, we wake up bright and early at around 4 am. The guide books recommends a bakery that supposedly has one of the best baguette in Paris. We head over the metro and ride over to the Latin Quarter.
Too bad they didn't minor in business and offer some coffee and a place to sit. We hunt down a nearby cafe, but only Starbucks is open. It's interesting how many of the french cafes don't open early. Maybe it has something to do with the 7-hour work days in France.
The bridges over to the islands are nice. Lots of street musicians. Sea gull bowling anyone? :-P
