-We walked around in the shops for a bit. There was a super pretty embroidery shop with a ditty bag embroidered to look like it was a Paris postcard. It was super cute! They also had a bread basket towel with the same design, so I might have to go back and get that.
-The Starbucks there had a really nice Paris mug. I still need to find a statue of Cupid and Psyche that captures the essence of the statue!
-Afterwards, we walked to Bertillon on Ile de Saint Louis. Bertillon is one of the most famous ice cream in the world. IT WAS DELICIOUS. It literally tasted like dove chocolate melted in your mouth!!! the pistachio ice cream was equally as good. Like the awful rose and lavendar ice cream I tried, the pistachio tasted exactly like the real thing, but it was actually meant to be served in ice cream form, so it was, of course, delectable.!
-I must go back. Mommy, Bertillon is a must-visit on your next trip to Paris!
-Afterwards, we walked back to Saint Michele, and I stopped in at Shakespeare and Co.
-It was incredible! I was completely and wholly surrounded by books. It was really emotional, actually, knowing that I was in one of the top 10 libraries in the world, and when I found 'my friend Bill's' plays, I almost lost it. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it! The upstairs is reserved for reading, which is really neat. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies where you can curl up and read. They say that no photos are allowed, but we'll see about that :)
-they have this neat little stamp they stamp the books with that you buy there, so I had them stamp a commemorative post card :)
