Thinking about Paris by Katie O, Tom’s Personal Assistant
After being home for a few months now, there are MANY things to be missed about vacationing in Paris. I find myself reminiscing about cheap Belgian endive (1.25 Euro/kilo) and mache at the farmer’s markets, leisurely breaks in the middle of the day to drink espresso, and on and on. But perhaps the thing I miss most is having breakfast with my best friend who lives in Paris in the 18th Arrondisment. We would wake up late and then walk down to our favorite boulangerie in the neighborhood. After picking up a warm baguette and a few pastries, we’d go home, press some coffee, pull out the large jar of Nutella (which is different over there than the product we get here), jam, and our favorite butter and yogurt. We’d let a nice breeze in by opening the balcony’s French doors that overlooked the cobblestone street and then proceed to enjoy breakfast and each other’s company. By and far, it is this morning ritual that I miss most: leisurely wake up times, press coffee, pastries, warm bread, and my best friend all under a beautiful Parisian backdrop.
As a side note: if you wanted to leave for Paris this Friday, you could get a ticket for $686. Think about it!
