After I got my SIM card I headed towards the Rue de Rennes for some shopping.
First, I was immediately tagged for a gullible American by a crazy British woman running one of those "I just need 6 euros to pay for my hotel, my French boyfriend left me, please help" scams. So much for attempting to look French.
Second, at Les Deux Magots, my salmon quiche went flying off the plate and into my lap. Graceful.
Third, moments later when heading for the toilettes to clean up, I fell down the stairs! Now I'm bleeding on one elbow & am bruised all over!
Fourth, Samaritaine and Berthillon are closed on Mondays.
At least I found a cute skirt, shoes, umbrella and sweater. And I had an egg, cheese, ham and mushroom gallette (that's a buckwheat crepe). After wandering for awhile I headed to my old stomping grounds around Boulevard St Michel & Boulevard St Germain.
Have also abandoned plan to go to London. Without paying 50Euros for a discount card the Eurostar is 187,50E at the cheapest times of day. Yikes! I'm saving my museum visits for tomorrow & Thursday. It's supposed to rain.
