le big mac

So today was suppose to be my errand day until I found out that everything is closed on Sunday. Having eaten all the food I had in my apartment for lunch this meant today was going to be the day I would explore the center of the city [read: find food].

I made my way to the metro and into the city where I walked around for a bit. Was feeling a bit hungry so I stopped by an outside vendor for pain au chocolate and some coffee. Unfortunately they were out of pain au chocolate. How about a croissant? They were out of that too. All they had left was tomatoes in a baguette. Er. No thanks.

So walk around some more and see a crepe stand. Mmmmm… crepe au chocolate. I got into the ridiculously long line where one girl was making one crepe at a time (pouring it, spreading it, folding it once, twice, three times) per customer. Half way through the slow moving line I realized everyone is handing the girl a blueish paper and not money so I realize you have to go into the bakery behind the crepe stand to purchase the crepe before you get into the crepe line. Faced with the prospect of very long bakery line along with having to get back into the end of the long slow moving crepe line, I left.

Having been foiled twice at this point in my attempts at food I decided that I wanted to go somewhere with a 100% accuracy rate for getting food in my stomach. Mc Donald’s it was. Never have I been so satisfied by a Big Mac.
