Seems more shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays than even in the U.S. South! Coming from the Midwest, that is a really foreign concept for me. We found a place a couple of blocks away for breakfast and then a friendly Parisian on the street directed us to a "French 7-11" (for my Southern friends, a "French Quick Stop") and we bought a few food items.

Ruth ordered quiche, but you cannot see the giant portion this was due to the camera perspective! I ordered an omelet -- also gargantuan -- but it didn't have cheese and I just can't do an omelet without, so I asked for a "to go" box and ordered a quiche, too. The quiche was scrumptious, but I guess they don't do "to go" in Paris, as our server brought me an emptied out candy box! (It leaked all the way home.) Note to Self: No "to go" in Paris. Forget about "wasting food" and just leave the rest. (I did, however, get four breakfasts out of this!)
Ugh. McD's is everywhere. And what is "shiny" bacon, I ask you?! (Or maybe a Big Mac is called a "Shiny" here?) Beats me.
Ruth in the "French 7-11."
Only one thing worse than seeing chains like McD's around the world: Seeing Coke products.
