We started the morning by taking the metro to Pigalle to try the highly rated KB Cafe. We got there nice and late at 8:30 am and fully expected the cafe to be open. And surprise, surprise, it wasn't! I think if I didn't have jet lag, I'd actually like living in France since I'm definitely not a morning person at all. We sighed, then decided to head over to Sacre Coeur first.
Sacre Coeur is the basilica that you need to walk about a bajillion steps to get to. Thankfully, they have the funicular that carry lazy Americans like ourselves up. :) And thankfully, it's free for us because we can just reuse the metro ticket!
We saw a middle-aged Japanese couple who were struggling to use the machine. Since we read English, we were able to help them out. They then offered to buy tickets for us through the machine! Of course we happily agreed and handed them cash. With ticket in hand, we started to climb the seemingly never-ending spiraling steps. Sorry if I sound a little lazy in this post. Just thinking back to how my feet felt at the end of the day makes me shudder. :)
For appetizers, David ordered a melon soup and I ordered the crab salad. I was really craving soup because it was kind of chilly outside so David ordered it for me. The soup turned out to be cold! Oops. It was still good and refreshing, though.
