Sweet defeat (or how I gained ten pounds in three weeks)

If you go to France and don't gain weight you are simply not eating and drinking enough.

Yes, yes, I walked.
And biked.
And strolled by the Seine.

But the croissants and brie and bottles of Bordeaux won the battle.

Breakfast

These are the specialties at Angelina: thick hot chocolate with whipped cream and a Mont Blanc pastry- a chestnut and meringue concoction. and of course a glass of wine to wash it all down!

A croque madame and quiche and carafe of red. Parfait!
