Evil Chicken

a slight hitch in the trip- the only on thus far- and also a word from the wise and experienced traveler and eater:


Yes, Paris is the center of delicious food and incomparable pastries, yet one must always be wary. Oh! evil chicken in a corner bistro near Le Marais... you anger and crush me...

I have never been so sick in my entire life.

Glad it's over. I am still recovering and feel very tired and weak after vomitting for 8 hours.

Even so, yesterday was not a total loss. I stumbled upon the historic home of the great Victor Hugo (such stumblings happen every day in this city- I recently discovered that Edith Piaf began her career in this quartiér!!!) and I also found an amazing bookstore in the Jewish quarter. I plan on returning to purchase something ere I leave.

All in all, the week has begun roughly. Alas, with such an active weekend it's understandable. Today I'll stay close to my apartment lest I need to collapse into nap, and nice, simple food is the course for today.

This little American in Paris shall prevail...
