Night on the town with Mike

Today I went into the office, since I can’t take off every day that Mike is here. I had a good meeting with the marketing guys, Frederick, and Dave Freeman, which was one of the most constructive discussions I’ve had here. After work I went back to the apartment, where I was meeting Mike. I wondered what he’d done all day, but as it turns out…nothing. He hadn’t even left! He was all ready to go but was so tired that he couldn’t even make it out! We got our act together, though, and headed out. We were heading down to the Champs-Elysees, but we spontaneously stopped off for drinks at the little bar I’ve been wanting to try across the street. It’s a great little place with tables outside, and those big floor-to-ceiling windows that make the inside meet the outside when the weather is nice. Afterwards we headed down to the C-E – it’s pretty at night, all lit up, and much less crowded than the daytime. We walked towards the Arc de Triomphe, and ended up having ok steaks at a touristy French restaurant on the south side. We made it up to the Arc, admired it, took pictures, and metro’d home – but not without another round at the neighborhood bar across the street. What a great find!
