I really wanted to have my picture taken by this, but I wimped out because there were people all around. But I love this tag.
Look at how cool Byron is sitting outside the Teddy L. patisserie on Chaussee de Waterloo. Teddy has a few locations around town, so I was put off by its relatively chain-iness. But really, the menu offered many choices, the sandwiches were good, and there was a nice patio out front. Despite the blowhard Brit nearby going on about yoga the whole time, the meal was quite enjoyable.
Spotted in St-Gilles.
Spotted in St-Gilles 2.
This little feller was also in St-Gilles.
As is our new apartment building! It's going to be grand! (Found this
site, which gives you the scoop on St-Gilles in a nutshell.)
This is the
Prison of St-Gilles. So magnificent! It's interesting because it is still a working prison and it's smack in the middle of a really nice part of St-Gilles. I mean, there are some really fancy houses right across the street, where I took this picture. In fact, it's quite residential (and high-end) all around the prison. It is not too far from our apartment, and there's a picturesque point where you're walking down our street and if you look to the right, you'll see the Prison of St-Gilles down the road and if you look to the left, you'll see the beautiful commune building of St-Gilles. And the whole thing just feels so old world European. *sigh*
Check out this hot dog in a bag! It's even called "Frank!"
I've been taking photos of house numbers, especially the hand-painted ones. But this sign was too good to pass up. Pret a porter
de luxe. Yes, I will.
