Europeans really know how to do breakfast. I would move here just for the pleasure of enjoying that meal every morning.
I took Aislinn to a restaurant around the corner this morning called Sucré Salé (Sweet Salty). She ordered a crêpe with lemon and sugar, and I had cheese and bread -- the most incredible, crusty, chewy baguette. And of course a spectacular cup of coffee. But it's not just the food that is so good. It's the way they present it: your coffee comes with a chocolate or a small cookie. They serve a choice of three different sugars for your beverage -- and none of them are Equal or Sweet & Low. Everything is fresh and appetizing.
Aislinn wanted to sit in the back end of the restaurant, so we watched the people coming and going. Some sat and stayed for breakfast; others just dropped in to pick up some bread or a pastry.
(the place looks pretty dead in this photo, but really it was quite busy.)
Tomorrow, Phil is taking William to the same place. Wish it were me : )
