GB: Paris Day Seven: The Last Day: Photo Set 1

AS's parents got into town this morning and, though severely jetlagged, were nice enough to walk around with us and treat us to lunch and dinner.

We stopped in the taxidermy shop that had the deer in a suit that AS and I walked by on day one. Here are two photos of some of the big animals they have upstairs. Beyond these two rooms is a room filled with bugs where you can choose your own bugs to put in a little display box. We considered getting some cockroaches mounted to scare off potential roaches from infesting our apartment in New York, but eventually decided against it.

Lunch today was at a restaurant that specialized in souffles. I had a tomato souffle with anchovy paste on top and AS had a pea and onion souffle. Both were delicious, but not as good as the dessert souffles. I had a chocolate souffle and AS had a hazelnut cookie souffle.

After lunch we walked through a little square. Then here's a cool looking statue that's in the middle of a big intersection near where we ate. He has the torso of a man, the body of a horse, the legs of a man, and the hat of a traffic cone. He also had both man and horse genitalia, so that's great.

After lunch we strolled around some shops in the neighborhood and eventually meandered back to the apartment for some relaxing before dinner. She and I each had steaks with some veggies and potatoes. Very good. My second steak in as many days- a streak that will most likely end tomorrow pending whatever our airplane meal is, which I pray is not airline steak.

After dinner we strolled back to the apartment. Now we've settled in for a relaxing night of packing our suitcases and charging our iPods. We leave for the airport tomorrow at 10am (taking a cab instead of the metro) and our flight is at 1pm-ish. We land in Newark around 4pm and should be back to our apartment god-willing around 6pm. I'm very happy that we have Monday off for Memorial Day or it would make for a rough day at work. Our plans are to order in and watch all the season finales of the shows we missed last week.

A relaxing end to a wonderful vacation.
