Paris Chic
Day 7 in Paris has been one busy day. Busy enough that I now have two bruises on my feet; one on each foot just below the toes where apparently I put most of my weight on the downstep. I feel like such a tenderfoot today.
The day began as normal. I woke up, went to the bakery. Purchased some milk, an au lait and two croissants (one for me and one for Diego). I also stopped at the newsstand to read some recent headlines. Then I headed back to get some work done. 12pm rolled around and I realized I had better get ready because I was to be at the Carousel Louvre by 1pm for the Robert Normand prêt-à-porter fashion show. Diego went with me as my guest and we ended up taking the taxi there because we were short on time. Not the best use of 9.50 €, to be sure. We got there as the previous show was ending so we took the time to snap a few pictures of some models. You can see all the pics from yesterday by following this link.
The show lasted about 13 minutes and then we were headed outside to find a café and walk around some shoppes. Time lingered and we decided we should get back to work. We ended up doing some major bug testing on the MinuteFix app. and getting quite a few things solved. It had been a truly satisfying day. It wasn’t over though.
Diego and Gil had a dinner with an investor at 4:30pm so I stayed home and caught up on emails, Facebook, Flickr, etc. I also watched a little of a movie and read a bit. I really just enjoyed my time alone. About 6:30pm I headed out for some dinner and to just take in the neighborhood some more. I got back around 11pm or so to Diego’s spontaneous invitation to hit the Eifel Tower. So, we did. We made it there, walked around, took some photos and then made the 1am (or last, as I like to say) train home.
The day ended with much reflection on what I had seen this past week, how I have felt, what I have to look forward to, what needs to change, etc……oh, and did I mention we went back to work until 5am? Yeah, we did. What a day!
