After lunch (sandwiches) by the river, we went to see St Severin's church. As most churches in Paris, this one also has the stained glass windows, nice columns, vaulted ceilings, overall gothic style and gargoyles outside. Saint Severin also has a unique twisted column behind the altar. We decided to take a break back at the hotel and as soon as we arrived, we received a nice surprise from some friends from Kansas City: a bottle of champagne. We brought out the grapes and cheese from our mini-refrigerator and enjoyed it in our balcony, seeing the sunset and rainbow after the rain. La vie en rose!
That evening we walked back to the Marais to a Middle Eastern restaurant. We didn't understand a word, so we went into the kitchen to point to the items we wanted in our sampler plate: feta cheese, chicken livers, tapenade, tuna, artichokes, meatballs, tomato and celery salad, with black bread and red wine. It rained as we ate under the awning.
Lonchamos unos sandwiches en el rio y nos fuimos a la iglesia de San Severin. La mayoria de las iglesias de Paris tienen vitrales, columnas y techos abovedados, estilo gotico con gargolas afuera. San Severin, ademas de eso, tiene una rara columna torcida detras del altar. Como estabamos cansados, decidimos regresar al hotel, donde recibimos una grata sorpresa: una botella de champana que unos amigos de Kansas City nos mandaron. Sacamos lo que nos quedaba de uvas y quedo del frigobar y nos tomamos la champana en el balcon, viendo el atardecer y arcoiris que salio al terminar la lluvia. La vida en rosa!!!
Esa noche caminamos de regreso a Marais a un restaurante del medio oriente, a cenar. Como no entendiamos nada de la carta, nos metimos a la cocina a apuntar que queriamos en nuestro plato de bocadillos: queso feta, higaditos de pollo, pure de aceitunas, atun, alcachofas, albondigas, ensalada de jitomate con apio, y pan negro con vino tinto. Llovio mientras comiamos bajo el caidizo del restaurante.
