Paris: day 4

After a rainy morning at the Musee d'Orsay and an underwhelming museum microwaved lunch, we visited another museum called Bon Marche. It may as well BE a museum.  We did score some non leather shoes for Nell.  Then off to Hermes, perchance to dream.
To see how the 1% lives, visit Hermes' drop dead gorgeous store on the Rue de Sevres.  $500. headbands, anyone?  Or a show jumping saddle? They start at $9,000.  If only that war horse we saw today had been born a bit later...

Have I mentioned that Paris is tres, tres cher?  Mon Dieu, cokes are $9 and bargains are hard to come by so dinner at Candelaria was a real treat for our weary wallets. The 6 seat restaurant may scare some but service was super friendly and food was great. But what's with the totally Spartan seating at this and other veg places?  Do our asses have to suffer to prove our worthiness?  Answer to come.
