Wow! Is this ever the time to be in Paris! January has SOLDES (sales) with 50-70% off these 2 weeks. I walked 40 minutes to la Bon Marche - a department store with everything. It covers at least 2 blocks. I bot teal leather gloves to wear on the Metro. It isn't fashion. It is for sanitation purposes. heh-heh!
The fashions to see are amazing! Gotta come back next year!
On the walk over everywhere there are great old buildings to photograph and wonderful little stores. Found an amazing Expresso Machine Store that was very busy. Kinda like our cell phone stores are where you wait in line for a long time. They were passing out cookies they sell to munch with your expresso. Heather, they use little containers like yours. These machines were 300 € and up!! Very up!
Took the Metro back. I am beginning to figure it out better. I sneak looks at the map or make a list of stops ahead of time. Now I have to keep track of used tickets. I accidentlally put a used one in my pocket with a new one and it didn't work. The employee assured me it was used when I couldn't go thru! I found the new one!
Off to cooking class tonight.
Is this the kind of instant espresso maker with the little plastic packets (that look like they could be creamers)? I know someone with one of those.. good but very pricey per cup! I think your Starbucks machine is just as good.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, yes they are and the machines are very, very expensive! Expresso only, no foam! Here in the states there is $100+ coffee machine that uses the same little cups. Still pricey per cup.
