Yes, we do tend to stick out, at least until we discover how fun it is to act French. Here, a Frenchman was more than happy to take a picture of me and my roomate Amber.
Cafes are extremely popular places to eat, rest, and people-watch, especially in Paris.
Here, we're in a cafe near the Eiffel Tower. The French drink a lot of wine Wine would probably qualify as the fifth essenstial food group for the French. I discovered this during my first visit to a sidewalk cafe. I had my heart set on eating escargot while in France, but alas, they were never on the menu. As for mousse, it was popular, but what I didn't expect were the incredible ice cream desserts with real whipped cream.
