huh...

I stepped on the scale this morning to see how much weight I gained while traveling and discovered that I lost three pounds. This was not the plan and I am a bit stunned. I ate my way around France, with a croissant, usually chocolate, for breakfast every day. For lunch we had fresh baguettes with cheese, usually cabecou a delicious creamy goat cheese that I discovered in Sarlat, or cheese that was layered with walnuts, and sometimes I'd have a chocolate croissant with my lunch. One day in the middle of the afternoon, I had hot chocolate because a friend who had lived in Paris for a year told me this cafe had the best hot chocolate in the world. It came in a little white pitcher, creamy and warm and I finished the whole thing, I savored every drop. Our last day in Paris, we went to the same ice cream place twice because it was good.
We did a lot of walking some biking, some running, but we did a lot of eating, too and we did not turn down dessert or avoid fatty meals. We did take some time with our meals, the restaurants in France do not rush you. They want you to enjoy your food, stay awhile, enjoy each bite. Then, I found this.
