Everyone in Paris looks like they're in a movie to me. The tour guide on the Seine, the waitress in the hotel, the guy on the side of the Seine practicing boxing, the couple flirting with each other in the cafe. They all look like actors.
I'm sure it has everything to do with the fact that all of my impressions of Paris come from movies. From the Davinci Code to Casablanca, I just have memories of movies. Drinking Perrier with John in a French cafe makes me think I’M in a movie!
But...the REALITY of Paris has everything to do with FOOD. Every time we eat I wonder if I'm having a TRUE Paris food experience. I want to experience steak frites, the truffle, beef bourginon, French cheese in all its smelly glory. I have had 6 macaroons and they were truly glorious...so light and crisp! I think I should try caviar and champagne. ESCARGOT. What if I don't experience escargot?
And...of course, there are all of the things I don't even know I should experience. What if I don't try the most important food of Paris?
