Paris 6, Richard 6

We've been using Susan's Knopf Mapguides (Paris) guide and it has been great. It's how we found dinner yesterday and lunch and dinner today. All the places have been local and had tons of character. Tonight, we went to Point Ephemere (bar-restaurant) for drinks. We sat on the covered terrace next to canal Saint Martin, but after awhile, a lady told everyone in the terrace to leave--they needed to prep for dinner. It started raining hard outside, but we were able to finish our beers inside the bar. We were hoping to eat dinner at Point Ephemere as well, but after they finished prepping the terrace, there weren't letting anyone in! Well, eventually we decided to order one more beer, then leave. As I ordered the beer in bad French, I told them (also in bad French) that I wanted to eat and asked if it was possible (actually I told them it was possible). Sure enough, they just needed someone to ask for dinner! They let me and Susan in, soon after which a bunch of Parisians followed us and got some food too! Definitely a plus when you beat the Parisians at their own game...
