Day 1

Chris worked and Butch visited various cafés in the neighborhood.


Surprisingly, the food in the Paris office is not better than the food in NY.  The food is very good but lost points for lack of variety.

Here's the sign on the street marking the door to the Google Paris office.


For dinner, we walked up the hill from our hotel and wandered into a random restaurant. It turned out to be a Fondue place similar to Korean BBQ where they have hibachis on the table.  They brought a pot of boiling water to cook the beef and a small pan to melt Raclette and baskets of bread and potatoes.  The funniest part was the owner did not speak much English and he had to describe to us how to cook everything.  Fortunately, I'm good at translating the French menu items so it was not a complete disaster.

This is the second day here and I'm already sick of eating meat with every meal.

At time of writing, I have no idea where Butch is.  He dropped me off at the office at 8:30 this morning, he asked what the exchange rate between dollars and euros is and said he'd meet me at the café on the corner at 6:30.

We plan to walk over to the Eiffel tower tonight.
