Sundays in Paris are Pretty Quiet

On Sundays many of the shops and restaurants here close down so Parisians can spend time with their families. From what we've learned people typically get together for a nice home-cooked meal and then spend the day together sharing stories, wine, and delicious food.

From the window in our hotel room we can see a large terrace on the building across the street. It's quite lovely so we kept stealing appreciative glances at a small family gathering as it unfolded before us on their lush deck.

It seemed rude to take a picture of the family during dinner, so I took this after they were finished

We are really enjoying the large window in our room. We've been leaving it open night and day to let in the smells and sounds of our new home.
