Cartes Téléphoniques & Night Walk in Paris

I'm getting behind!! Go figure on the last day we are in Paris!

d - this one is especially for you - the phone cards... you know what it is like to travel with me... and sometiemes... things just happen...

2 days ago, after we got the list of doctors from the consulate, I was trying to decide if I should call. ka was so kind, even though her feet must be killing her, ran down to the tabaccaniste to get a phone card. We have a phone in the apartment, but we can not make outbound phone calls with out one of these specializd cards... kind of like the long distance cards at home. So the cheapest denomination we could get for LOCAL calls was 7€50 - and that gave us 23 minutes of local calling (didn't realize how spoiled we are at home... pick up the phone and dial). Unfortunately, the card that ka bought was not good for a home phone, only ones at a payphone. It was then that I decided not to make an appointment as I was feeling better, but we kept the phone card anyway... just in case. So the next day, that was when I decided to go to the doctor's. Could not find the phone card that we had purchased yesterday, so we grab all our change, and head to the nearest phone booth. Once we get to the phone booth, of course, it only takes those cartes téléphoniques. Poor ka, she ran back to the tabaccaniste, bought another card.. only this one, we can use from the home phone... sigh.. welcome to Jilly's world.. the irony is not lost on me! Since we were at the phone booth, we went ahead and made the call. I still have that phone card... I still don't know where the other one is!

After a long day yesterday... we decided to head out for a walk around St. Honoré. We truly are in the ritzy section of town. Cartier, Tiffany's, Rolex, Van Cleef's..etc are just around the corner from us. So after a bit of window shopping, we decided to head into a life café so ka could eat (I'm still on clear foods for a couple more days.. no last soupe à l'oignon for me!) - I had a tea. We sat and chatted, in a little corner café, looked like the theatre crowd was there, as we were right around the corner from Opéra. It as a wonderful night.
