[During the past week I have had Finnish company when a couple of my friends came to visit Paris. I have become a tourist again and walked around seeing attractions with them. On Wednesday I went to pick them up from the Charles de Gaulle airport and took them to the best Vietnamese restaurant on my home street. In the afternoon we walked along Champs Elysees, stopped by at a Disney store and admired the Arch of Triumph, the river Seine and Notre Dame.]
Lauantaina suuntasin ystavieni kanssa suklaa-museoon. Oli erikoista katsella ikivanhoja kulhoja, joita oli kaytetty suklaaseen, seka suklaajumala-patsaita, mutta oli erittain mieluisaa maistella ilmaista suklaata. Suklaa-hiirille tiedoksi, etta taalta loytyy paikka, jossa 11 eurolla saa syoda tasan niin paljon suklaata kuin huvittaa.
[On Saturday we headed to the chocolate museum with my friends. It was extraordinary to watch very old bowls that had been used for chocolate and statues of chocolate gods, but it was very pleasant to taste free chocolate. To inform chocolate addicts, you can eat as much chocolate as you want with 11 euros here.]
Museon jalkeen suuntasimme Pariisin katakobeille, maanalaisille hautakaytaville. Saavuimme jonoon 15 minuuttia ennen ilmoitettua viimeista sisaanottoaikaa, mutta jonon pituuden tahden meilla ei ollut enaa mahdollisuutta paasta sisalle. Kokeaksemme illalla viela jotakin ranskalaista etsimme lahistolta ravintolan, jossa tarjoiltaisiin ratatouillea, kuuluisaa ranskalaista kasvispataa. Seurueemme oli hieman epaluuloista kyseista ruokalajia kohtaan, mutta nyt ratatouillella on 3 uutta fania. Voimme ehdottomasti suositella!
[After the museum we took metros to the catacombs of Paris, the underground grave tunnels. We arrived to the queue 15 minutes before the time when they take the last visitors inside but because of the length of the line we were not able to enter anymore. To experience still something French during the evening we looked for a restaurant nearby that serves ratatouille, the famous French vegetable stew. Our group was a little bit suspicious toward it but now ratatouille has 3 new fans. We can absolutely recommend that!]
Sunnuntaina tapasimme ystavieni ja H:n kanssa Gare de l'Estin rautatieasemalla ja otimme junan Provinsiin. Vietimme paivan vanhassa kaupungissa ihastellen paitsi komeita rakennuksia myos peltojen ymparoiman pikkukylan rauhallisuutta verrattuna aina vilkkaaseen Pariisiin. Pitkan paivan kruunasi viela Pariisissa tanssimaan meno. Viime kerrasta olikin jo pari kuukautta aikaa.
[On Sunday I met my friends and H at the train station of Gare de l'Est and we took a train to Provins. We spent the day in the old town admiring not only the magnificent buildings but also the peacefulness of the village surrounded by fields. It was the cherry for the icecream when we went to dance in Paris in the evening. It had been two months since my last time.]
