The picture is of a chocolate tasting the group had before leaving France. We weren't worried about it making it through customs.
I worked hard searching through the bird and flower market near the St. Michel metro stop on the River Seine and was excited to find 2 flavors of rocket/arugula is seed packets. Knowing my grandmother loves to watch flowers grow, I thought this would be a perfect gift. She could even eat the leaves!
Gigi and Larry met us after breakfast in time to take the metro to be at the Eiffel Tower when it opened. However, nature must not have gotten the message we were coming because the Eiffel was mostly covered in clouds for the day. We agreed to climb the tower anyway and to get a look at the city from the second floor.
