Arrival in Paris
- We transferred in Frankfurt. Smoking is allowed in (parts of) the Frankfurt airport, but not in the Paris airports. Given the French predilection for smoking, this is surpising. The Frankfurt airport is not well organized, in security screening and especially in boarding — seemingly unorganized and moving people in and out of the boarding area. So much for German efficiency!
- We finally arrived in Paris, and had a long wait for the luggage: one of our pieces was the next to last one to come out.
- Took a nap at hotel in Levallois (where L's office is, bordering Paris) to catch up on some sleep.
- We wandered a bit in the center of Levallois for a bit, scouting dinner possibilities. We had an espresso to wake up and an aperitif ("that red drink they're having") to relax before dinner. A group of buskers was doing their thing: 2 trumpets, an accordion, and a rhythm machine.
