We are back from beatiful Paris!

(i wished i live here too), this was taken at a colleagues place at Place Ditalie which has a magnificent view of the almost whole of Paris...

Standing at this window even better than heading up the Eiffel (which needs a lot of patience)

So the past 2 weeks were spent quite fruitfully compared to the last time i was there. listed a hundred and one things to do before boarding the plane and managed to accomplished many of them!=)
Top of my list was of course seeing the real mona lisa painting at this beautiful Louvre museum...

which had so many paintings from the past that i fell in love with, including this one that had a mary poppins feel to it.

next was, to indulge in some Pierre Hermes macarons

and, to simply eat nice bread and baguette everyday

So after all that French fare,

we decided to go full blast Japanese today for lunch and dinner.
Lunch was a luxurious version of cold soba. topped with various tempura, natto, nameko mushorrms, tender spinach leaves and poached egg.


Dinner was simple salt grilled fish and mentaiko, vegetable flowers in sesame dressing, miso soup, white rice and pickles. ahh...

It is getting warmer here, and i am so glad to be back to home sweet home...
