Friday Adventure (19 sept)

After my first translation course last Friday, I met up with Candice and Lyndsie to hit the town for birthday presents and shopping.

First thing first, we found the holy grail of stores, C'est Deux Euros. Basically a slightly more expensive Dollar Tree with cool stuff. I even got a Daniel Auteuil movie called "Napoleon et moi," which I am pretty excited to watch even if it turns out crappy.

For lunch we hit up Le Cambodgia, where I had something similar to beef lo mein. Nom nom nom.

Random street pic.

We then went into a nearby "Librarie." In French, Libraries are bookstores. Bibliothèques are libraries. Fun stuff. Anyways, there was free drinks. Well, I got a free drink because I found it and got the last cup, so I got the cappucino and burned myself. Karma.

We started wondering around and came across a Chocolatier. It looked sooo goooood. But it was also soooo expensiiiive.

We then decided it was time for dessert! At least for Lyndsie and I; Candice promised to not eat a macaron until her boyfriend came to visit... More for me!

We then went across the street to au coin des halles (the brunch place), where we tried the café frappé, aka iced coffee, which I dislike. Curse you Starbucks for brainwashing us into thinking all frappes are the same!

It was pretty though.

Left to Right: Almond, Tiramisu, Earl Grey Tea and Aprocot, Chocolate, Pistachio, Caramel, Citron and Basil?, Raspberry

Tiramisu

The most amazing of all: Earl Grey and Apricot. Beautiful and delicious.

Since there was nothing vegetarian friendly at the Asian place and was waiting to try macarons, Candice ate at WOKWAY.

This place is our new obsession.

On the way home I took a picture of some graffiti.

That was about it for Friday!
