"Do you think it's ok to drink this wine? I let it breathe." (Anonymous, at approximately 0930 hours referring to wine from last night.)

2 visits to les grands magasins (Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marche)

1 religieuse au chocolat
4 macaroons
1 giant cookie consumed (3 left behind at L'Astrance along with much needed water)
Countless cafes aux laits
Several pounds of butter (4 pats consumed in one sitting. 1/2 pat eaten without anything else)
4+ hours spent watching Top Chef marathon in French
0 salade nicoise
Several liters of French wine
2 bottles champagne (1 very shiny flashy - see Saturday)
2 shots compliments of Brazilian bartender
5 min to finish drinks and settle bill after feigning interest in meeting said bartender at random club, and then escaping in other direction

Zero interest in learning number of pounds gained from gluttony on this trip
