This Spring Jesse's had to travel a lot but luckily I had a chance to meet him in Paris for the day in February. We met at Gare du Nord and taxied over to Le Picotin for a bistro lunch. We walked along the Seine back to his hotel and as he did a little work I walked over to the Ile-St-Louis and climbed the towers at Notre Dame for the first time. We met again before dinner and walked up to a little wine bar called Le Baron Rouge for charcuterie and several tasting glasses. We had time to stop in Monoprix and waste away the last few hours with more aperitifs outside the Gare du Lyon watching life pass by.
Next, Jesse played hooky and we drove up to Amsterdam to visit the Dutch masters at the Rijksmuseum. We spent a few hours listening to the audio-guides and taking a coffee break inside the impressive building. Then as he took a conference call, I got to wander along the canals and pop in and out of little boutiques before our yummy dinner at Pancakes! and driving back home again.
