A night at the Bastille and a day at the market!

On Friday evening we took another trip up to the Bastille, once again the view was amazing, and it was very nice to see the city at when the sun is setting, and all the lights are coming on. There are a lot of postcards around with these exact pictures!

You can even see the moon in the sky, and the view was just as impressive in the dark!

We couldn't help but take pictures on the way up, and as you can see by what we're wearing it was a lovely warm night.

We had a great picnic up the very top, I'm amazed how many people we managed to arrange to meet at once! It wasn't so fun going down though, I'm glad that a couple of people brought torches.

Today I went to another market, I really love the markets here they are absolutely picturesque, I take a lot of pictures and the stall owners always think that I am about to buy something, but it is worth it because I love looking at all the delicious market foods!

I already have a fridge full of cheese, but I couldn't resist the delicious looking sundried tomatoes, and I bought a very decent amount for only 1 Euro!

Today I also had the chance to try some of the most delicious grapes I have ever eaten in my life. I bought a bag of Muscat grapes, for only 1.50 Euro per kg, I have been eating them all day! (these are more expensive, I found a much better deal!)

I'm already looking up other markets to go to again, I've found a nearby painting and sculpture market to go to next, so expect some nice photos from that one!

I found a photo of me from a night earlier in the week, we all went around to an apartment of some German friend's and all cooked dinner together, we made home made pasta with two types of sauce! I was helping with the sauce so I didn't have much to do with the pasta, but it was very impressive so I got a photo with it! The Germans said that they do it with their family a lot. Even though it wasn't exactly a typical French experience, I absolutely loved it! It was delicious. As you can see here they used a clotheshorse to dry the pasta, it was very effective.

We returned the favour by making them risotto later on in the week, although it wasn't so impressive looking.. so unfortunately you will not get to see that masterpiece!
