Walking Around


The weather is glorious. Just a light cardigan will do. No leather jackets necessary as the sun is out and shining bright. Very nice weather to do some wandering about in the city. Bright and early I went out. Then a text came in from the girlfriend. She had sneaked away from work and arranged lunch. "We eat simple. L'Atelier Berger", she instructed. "Find me."

WIN lor. So much walking to do!!! Grrrrr. Armed with the trusty GPS navigator, a map and stopping to clarify directions, I walked and walked from my hotel all the way to 49 Rue Berger. HA. I checked the watch and felt so proud that I got there 25 minutes earlier than stated. The girlfriend narrowed her eyes at me and asked "Why so late?".

I had a mini argument with her about how I was early rather. Then something dawned on me. I forgot that Paris is one hour ahead of London. OOPS. The girlfriend rolled her eyes. No sympathy from her even though I'm new to the city. Hummpf.
