Salut de Paris: Hello from Paris

After a long transatlantic flight, I arrived in Paris bright and early this morning and my nephew was there waiting for me so I was delighted to see him. Since I don't check any bags, my airport exit is usually very quick and today was the same. One thing I noticed is that the customs and border controls was very fluid which was a surprise since the last time I was in France it took much longer... All was smooth... When I arrived at my nephew's home, his wife greeted me. She was bathing her newborn son who was soo cute. I was a zombie from not sleeping at all last night so I asked for a coffee which I had with my favorite Berber pastries, to die for!!!!  My nephew wanted to work on his porch in the backyard so I volunteered to help In order to stay awake instead of falling asleep... When lunch time came, I was surprised with a nice couscous with beef and a salad :) what a treat it was!!!

Big bowl of couscous with an amazing beef stew!

Mediterranean salad.

 

Afternoon tea with awesome Berber treats! All my favorites!  

Very narrow street in Cergy

No sidewalks so just walk down the middle and hope for the best ..
