Jonny sleeps in while I go shopping for a baguette and some groceries. We are conveniently one block from a fantastic "boulangerie" (so much for my diet) and a quaint open-air market and a poisson (fish) merchant - I look forward to cooking some fresh fish soon. The grocery store is also on this block — it is small, but well-stocked. You put your groceries in a wheeled basket with a telescoping handle (like luggage) -- I wish we had baskets in the states like that!

The fab shopping cart and WALL of Yogurt
There was also a whole wall dedicated to yogurt -- an important staple in the French diet. We will eat it everyday to keep our insides healthy -- especially with all the carbs that we will be eating in the days to come. An Atkin's diet here would be next to impossible. The bread is THAT good!
We get a late start because we are still jet-lagged. The day is hot and humid, so we decide to walk to the Chagall Museum. The walk is longer than expected, but the museum was worth every mile. Huge colorful paintings depicting Chagall's Biblical Series. Chagall, was a Russian Jew who's given name was "Mark Zakharovich Shagal." The works depicted the Song of Songs, Jacob's Dream, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise, etc. Simply framed, they works were breathtaking.

Starved and tired, we end the day with a dinner along the bustling Rue Massina, and a stroll along the Promenade Des Anglais. Tomorrow I am getting in that water!
